Ford Reveals 2027 Fathom: $28,350 and Bidirectional AC

Ford says the 2027 Fathom will start at $28,350 MSRP and offer available bidirectional AC power. The disclosure, embedded in a home-charging announcement, positions the new electric pickup as a lower-cost vehicle with integrated two-way AC charging capability.

Pricing and rollout context

Ford revealed the base price as an Easter egg inside a press release about home charging; the language stated the truck "will start at $28,350 MSRP and offer available bidirectional AC power." The company has been teasing the Fathom in advance of public events, including imagery at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and a prior announcement that something significant is coming to the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, scheduled November 3 through 6.

Bidirectional AC charging and home-power features

Ford describes bidirectional AC power as a technology "that enables energy to flow both ways, turning an electric vehicle (EV) into mobile energy storage for customers and an additional energy source for the grid." The automaker said widespread scaling of such capability has been limited by cost, because EV batteries store direct current and household systems use alternating current, so conversion traditionally required costly external equipment such as inverters or premium-vehicle features.

Ford claims the Fathom will be notable for its integrated capacity: "the all-new Ford Fathom electric truck will be the first EV from a U.S. automaker with an MSRP below $30,000 that does not need a separate wall-mounted inverter to supply over a projected 10 kW of AC power to a home."

• Projected ability to supply over a projected 10 kW of AC power to a home
• No separate wall-mounted inverter required, per Ford's claim
• Planned compatibility with Ford Home Power Station and Ford Home Backup Power Panel

Ford outlined intended uses for the feature, including home energy management that lets the truck recharge when electricity is cheap and supply power back when prices rise, and home backup power to "keep the lights on" as an alternative to traditional generators. Ford said the functionality will be provided with the Ford Home Power Station and a Ford Home Backup Power Panel.
