Considering getting a Ford Lightning. I am off-grid solar. I installed my solar in October and got through Oct, Nov, Dec, and Jan with help from a generator. Since Jan 31 I have not had to use the generator at all, woohoo!!!!
However, if I had an extended range Lightning (131kWh battery) it would have gotten me through with the "extra" generation that was "wasted" on the sunny days after my batteries were charged (and then some).
Thoughts on using the Lightning as an "extension" to my battery bank? It has a 220V plug in the back, so I could plug it in to my generator port. It looks, so far, like it would be used mostly in the winter months (late Nov to late Jan), but then we would likely generate enough to charge it.
