The V2L (Vehicle to Load) technology enables using an electric vehicle's traction battery to power household appliances outside the home. The system converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) at 220 V via a built-in inverter. Maximum V2L output is about 3.5 kW, sufficient for several devices simultaneously. When the battery charge drops to a preset threshold (e.g., 30%), the function automatically shuts off, preserving energy for driving.
