Aftermarket EV adapter company Lectron recently introduced its own Vehicle to Load (V2L) connector for the Hyundai Ioniq 5. This connector allows you to draw 120-volt power, like you'd find in a common US household power receptacle, directly from the car's battery pack.
Aftermarket EV adapter company Lectron recently introduced its own Vehicle to Load connector for the Hyundai Ioniq 5. This connector allows you to draw 120-volt power, like you’d find in a common US household power receptacle, directly from the car’s battery pack. Lectron didn’t invent the system, but once I go over some basic information about the Hyundai V2L system, I’ll go over Lectron’s take on this cool accessory.
The V2L function gives a max of 3.6 kW power and is situated under the second-row seats; it can be turned on when the car is running. There’s another V2L port located at the charging station externally on the vehicle that provides charge to high-power electric equipment when using a converter — even if the car is off.What makes this system super cool is how you can use it without tapping into the 12-volt system.
The system was cool enough to win an award. In 2021, The IONIQ 5 Vehicle-to-Load capability was awarded aBest of What’s New Award in the Automotive Category. A panel of expert judges and editors from“Hyundai is honored to have the all-new IONIQ 5 awarded a 2021 Popular Science Best of What’s New Award in the Auto Category for its Vehicle-to-Load functionality,” said Olabisi Boyle, vice president, product planning and mobility strategy, Hyundai Motor North America.
If $550 and not knowing when it’ll ship sounds like a bad deal to you, Lectron has some good news. Instead of paying that much,. Plus, they’re promising to ship it fast in early December 2022 .
