I’ve tried and get an error saying that you can’t. There seem to be a lot of things things that you can’t do that make this $900+ option useless. The app seems to indicate that you can remote to the system from your phone and turn it on, but again I can’t see to get that to work as I think this might be an F-150 thing and the app developers just left it in for the E-transit.

The factory 400VDC to 12VDC converter capacity is unknown but is likely 300A. The 12VDC battery can supply 300 amps for a few seconds before the converter kicks in to back it up.
Toomy Lift did continuous 150A load testing without a problem (Tommy Gate - Liftgates for Electric Vehicles - Tommy Gate V2 Series with an All-Electric Ford® E-Transit):
Due to preliminary data and open lines of communication with Ford about the electrical system, we were confident the V2 would work. However, like everyone else, we wanted to know exactly the battery requirement for multiple, full-loaded liftgate cycles.
I have a 3000W pure sine inverter I plan on installing behind the driver seat.
It's important to install the inverter power take off outside the battery monitoring sensor (a box on the positive terminal). The battery monitor tracks the charge cycles to increase the life of the Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery. When connected to the battery side, it appears the AGM battery is being cycled every time the inverter turns on - which it is not - so the sensor will incorrectly charge the 12v battery.

Electronic battery sensor
The electronic battery sensor (EBS) provides reliable and precise information on the status of 12-V lead-acid batteries.
