        There’s also the whole … Max output from a Ford F-150 Lightning is 9.6 kilowatts vs 2.4 kilowatts from the Ford F150 ProPower’s inverter (which might come in handy if there’s a large spike in the power draw).

        The inverter per your source … and my understanding of it … gets you 85 hours at 2.4k, the EV gets you 41 (based on a continuous draw of 2.4k).

        The other thing worth noting though is the inverter provides outlets. An EV system can be basically directly wired into a home electrical system powering the whole home and there’s no concern about a truck running in the garage pumping out carbon monoxide. In theory it could even be automatic but I’m not sure we’re there yet.
