How many folks really need that capability though? For the average commuter, a regular wall outlet would be just fine. Even with an F150.
Rough math. Let's say the F150 does 2 km / kWh (say a conservative winter estimate). And 30 km commute each way. Toss in 20% for errands and weekend drives. That's 180 kWh / week. With a 1.8 kW outlet that's 100 hrs plugged in. 14.3 hrs per day. Any less time than that, or higher usage might just require a supplemental fast charger session.
It comes down to a convenience thing. 1.8 kW from a wall outlet means that a regular commuter would basically have to be plugged in most of the time at home. And that might be annoying.

But, they could possibly make about 80% of vehicles electric by then.

It's 100% of sales by 2035. Not 100% of vehicles on the road. Realistically, half the cars on the road will still be using gas or diesel then.
