#v2l
Grid power was restored at 1.22 am (17 hours 43 minutes after it went out) but I was in bed by then so our car continued to supply power to our fridge-freezer, WiFi, etc. overnight. By the time I disconnected everything from the V2L adaptor it had been providing power for us for 24 hours and used a total of 7.2 kWh in that time, leaving the car battery at 91%.
The V2L adaptor goes back into its storage spot in the sub-basement of the boot, and I've decided to keep one of the 30 metre extension cords and the power board box in the frunk just in case I need them when on the road.
So far so good. The scheduled power outage started about 7:40 am, but I was able to quickly restore power to the fridge-freezer, the NBN box & WiFi router, the lizard's heat lamp and lighting, and my working from home monitor, laptop, etc.
I have the Vehicle-to-Load adaptor plugged into the car, two extra heavy duty 30 metre long extension cables plugged onto that inside a weatherproof power board box, and a mess of additional power boards and extension cords inside the house. Fortunately, apart from the fridge which is directly connected to the V2L adaptor, it's all very low power so having lots of long cables will be OK.
Being able to work from home pretty much as I normally do on Wednesdays is nice, but not having to worry about everything in the freezer defrosting is really, really nice.
@siftinsand @james with a #Victron system it is possible.
The #V2L is seen as a AC in (like from a common generator) and it switches automatically to it.
Come scaricare Kia EV6 trasferendo energia alla Opel Corsa-e: con il V2L si aprono nuovi orizzonti a cui non avevamo ancora pensato... il limite è solo la fantasia! :D https://www.forumelettrico.it/forum/come-scaricare-kia-ev6-trasferendo-energia-alla-opel-corsa-e-t41771.html #kia #ev6 #v2l #corsa-e
From Ukraine to Texas, EVs aren’t just transport—they’re powerbanks on wheels. Whether it's keeping ventilators running in Kyiv or grilling through a blackout in Austin, BEVs are proving they can save lives and dinners, while also making our grids more resilient & decentralised. #EVs #V2L #V2G #V2X
Power on Wheels: Your EV as a ...
Making sure I'm prepared for the scheduled power outage in two weeks.
Our BYD Seal came with a vehicle-to-load adapter, which is a ~5 m long cable with a Type 2 plug on one end and a 2 outlet mains power board on the other. By itself that's only good for supplying mains power to my driveway so I also have a 30 m extra-heavy duty extension cord, plus a weatherproof power board box to protect the connection from rain.
The main reason I laid this out today was to confirm that 30 m is the right length for the extension cord, and I was pleased to find that it does reach inside our house far enough to comfortably reach our fridge, or our living room. If I now get a second 30 m extension cord I can use the other outlet on the V2L adaptor and preserve both our food and our internet connection while the power is out.
@Mattcraig we have a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited AWD; it reflects everything you said about your Kia EV6, except no USB-C ports 🥲 only USB-A and a built-in Qi charger, and #V2L capability within the cabin and via an adapter for the charging port. We routinely go the opposite way, from Western Washington on the Pacific Coast to Portland, OR area (183 miles/295km). We let the #BEV drop to 5-10% charge then use a fast DC charger, generally 20-25 minutes to get to 80-90%
What is V2L? Vehicle to load allows you to run electrical products from your EV - either in an emergency or for fun like camping.
We were prepared to use our BYD Atto3 in that way during the Cyclone Alfred threatened. Nice to read this article.
“The pair have a nine-month-old daughter and a three-year-old son – having a reliable way to #sterilise bottles and #BoilWater for formula was critical.
They knew the battery from their white #BYD Atto 3 could power their home using the vehicle-to-load system (#V2L) – a backup power system that allows the car #battery to power #appliances – but neither had actually hooked it up. They wondered how much it could handle.”

OK, well, I guess we'll be finding out how well our car works as a backup mains power supply.
Our BYD Seal came with a Vehicle To Load (V2L) adaptor, which takes the form of a short-ish mains cable with a Type 2 plug on one end and a power board with two 10A Australian mains outlets on the other. To go with that I already have a 30 metre long extra heavy duty extension lead, and a weatherproof power board enclosure. With our car parked in our driveway at the front of our house I can plug the V2L adaptor into the car, plug the extension lead into the adaptor, protect the junction from rain with the enclosure, and run the extension lead through to the back of our house where our fridge freezer is.
The fridge freezer is the thing I most want to keep powered, but Wednesdays are usually a working from home day for me so I might also try to keep the internet and our working-from-home monitor, etc. running too.
I'm currently wondering whether I want to get a second long extension lead so I can use both outlets on the V2L adaptor and make it a bit easier for me to get power to where I want it without resorting to daisy-chaining multiple power boards and extension leads.

Prove di V2L fra Kia EV6 e moto Zero FX col nuovo adattatore: avendo l'auto una capacità batteria di 10 volte rispetto alla moto e potendone trasferire l'energia, apre la strada a viaggi ed avventure potenzialmente senza limiti https://www.forumelettrico.it/forum/prove-di-v2l-fra-kia-ev6-e-moto-zero-fx-col-nuovo-adattatore-t41024.html #kiaev6 #zerofx #v2l #enduroelettrico

Almost 32% of the EVs sold in Australia is 2024 had #V2L (Vehicle to Load) capability, i.e. provided a 230V AC outlet. These were mainly #BYD, #MG, #Kia, #Hyundai and #Genesis models.
They do this by having a small inverter in the car to convert the DC from the battery pack into usable AC power ranging from 2.2kW to 3.3kW, either inside the car and/or via an external adaptor plugged into the AC charge port. Here are the top 25 models from 2024 and whether they currently support V2L and some photos of various model V2L adaptors.
V2L is a useful capability to use your EV battery to run small appliances when away camping or during a power blackout like your fridge, freezer, phone chargers, internet routers and even dialysis machines.
Unfortunately many of the biggest selling EV brands don’t support V2L yet, e.g. #Tesla, #BMW, #Volvo, #Mercedes and #Polestar
Fortunately third parties are working on V2L devices as a retrofit option for Teslas, which don’t currently have V2L, using an external inverter.
Using an external inverter to provide V2L, connects directly to the EV battery DC via the CCS2 plug, and is a more expensive solution than a V2L adaptor provided by the EV manufacturer, which uses an inverter inside the EV.
This technology is similar to how future #V2H and #V2G could work on existing EVs.
