Frequently asked questions
What is V2L (Vehicle-to-Load)?
V2L lets your EV power external devices through an outlet — a fridge, TV, camping gear, even tools. It turns your car into a mobile power station.
Which EVs support V2L?
Many 2022+ models support V2L, including the Hyundai IONIQ 5/6, Kia EV6, Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian and others. Capacity is usually 1.8-3.6 kW, enough for most home loads.
How long can an EV power my home devices?
A 60 kWh battery at 70% charge holds ~42 kWh — enough to run a 150W fridge for ~280 hours or power a camping setup for days.
Does V2L drain my battery?
Yes — the energy comes from the battery. Keep your target SoC in mind, and the calculator shows exactly how much you'll have left.
