Interior: A standard 3-pin socket is available inside the vehicle cabin
External: V2L outlets available outside the vehicle (e.g., charging port area)
What about V2H or V2G?
Vehicle-to-Home or Vehicle-to-Grid means plugging your EV into your home or the grid to supply power (via a bidirectional charger). Whereas Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) allows the vehicle to supply power to external devices - via a 3-pin socket.
Do Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs) support V2L?
Some PHEVs support V2L, but note that batteries are considerably smaller than those in full EVs (typically between 12-25 kWh).
- Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (MY23 onwards) - 1,500 W max output (interior)
- Mitsubishi Outlander (MY23 onwards) - 1,500 W max output (interior)
- BYD Sealion 6 - (exterior)
What is the maximum load?
The number listed is the peak power output – supplied by the manufacturer. Almost all V2Ls are good for a continuous draw of around ten amps.
What can I plug in?
Anything. However, some appliances with high loads should only be used briefly (in the same way you wouldn’t overload a multi-plug adaptor).
