The name of the <strong>V2L<\/strong> (<strong>V<\/strong>ehicle-<strong>to-l<\/strong>oad) function can be translated as vehicle-to-load. <strong>The V2L function simply allows using the energy from the traction battery of the electric vehicle to power external devices.<\/strong> This is a technology possessed only by some modern electric vehicles because it requires a so-called bidirectional voltage inverter to function.

The main problem is that this energy is stored in the battery in the form of <strong>direct current voltage<\/strong>, usually 400 V or in newer electric vehicles 800 V.

This means that the inverter inside the vehicle can transform direct current from the battery into alternating current with the desired voltage of 230 V (or 110 V), enabling its further use in common appliances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">The use of energy obtained from the electric vehicle&#8217;s battery is limited by the so-called rated power of the system, which is essentially its maximum or peak power. <strong>Most manufacturers of electric vehicles equipped with V2L technology therefore provide the size of the total rated power<\/strong> available through one or more sockets of alternating current. Typically, rated power values are around 3 kW. For comparison, a standard household socket with 230 V and a 16 A circuit breaker has a rated power of 3.7 kW (230 V x 16 A). Therefore, any appliance used in a standard household socket should function in an electric vehicle with V2L.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Connecting appliances to an electric vehicle with V2L:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">You may be thinking that many cars already have a socket as standard equipment today. Even combustion-engine cars have them. However, this interior socket is usually powered by the onboard 12 V system and eventually goes to sleep along with the control unit after a period of inactivity. This means that the socket does not have such power, and the car turns it off after a certain period of inactivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">V2L behaves a bit differently. A special adapter is used to connect appliances, which is plugged into the standard charging connector of the electric vehicle. <strong>The electric vehicle itself monitors to ensure that the battery discharge level does not drop below the minimum allowed threshold.<\/strong> The limit of allowed discharge can be easily set in the vehicle&#8217;s infotainment system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vehicle-2-Load (V2L) | IONIQ 5 | How-to Hyundai Canada\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oDPOz1LuA-c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Did you know there are other uses for BEVs:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>V2H (Vehicle-to-Home)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">The possibilities of using bidirectional inverter technology bring many additional benefits in the future. V2L can be considered the first stage. Another stage in utilizing the potential of battery electric vehicles is V2H (Vehicle-to-Home). <strong>In this concept, the battery electric vehicle supplies electricity to the connected household (house, cottage, &#8230;).<\/strong> This allows homeowners to use electric vehicles as temporary storage units, using the electric energy from their electric vehicles for their own needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">In the case of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autolexicon.net\/articles\/v2g-vehicle-to-grid\/\">V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid)<\/a> concept, <strong>the electric vehicle is even connected to the local power grid<\/strong>.
