Overview

Mains power from your Hyundai IONIQ 5

V2L was one of the things the IONIQ 5 became known for. This lead plugs into the charge port and gives you a UK socket outside the car, for camping, power tools or a few lights during a power cut.

Switching it on

Plug it into the Type 2 charge port and press the button on the Type 2 connector. The same button turns it off.

What it will run

Up to 3kW through a UK 3-pin outlet, or 3.6kW on CEE and Schuko, depending on the car. A 60W laptop charger, a 45W cool box and LED lights barely register. A standard 3kW kettle is right at the limit through the 3-pin socket, so a 2kW travel kettle is the safer choice, and the same goes for fan heaters on full.

Which car it fits

Hyundai IONIQ 5, including IONIQ 5 N. The car decides whether discharge is available, so the lead only works on models that support V2L. If you are unsure, our car finder will check your registration.

An important warning

A vehicle-to-load lead must never be connected to any other electrical system, such as a house, a caravan hook-up or a generator inlet. There is no voltage or phase synchronisation, so doing it can seriously damage both the car and the other system, and it will void your vehicle warranty.

The lead itself

  • 16A cable, 3G1.5 conductor, 10.5mm diameter
  • IP44: works in dusty conditions and resists splashes while connected, but must never sit in water
  • Black, with a choice of outlet and lengths from 0.5m to 15m
  • Keep the rubber dust cap on when it is stored, so grit and moisture stay out of the pins

Other Hyundai leads are on our Hyundai V2L page, and every car we cover is in the V2L adapter range.

FAQs

Will it work with my IONIQ 5?
Yes, the IONIQ 5 is on the fitment list. Press the button on the Type 2 connector once the lead is in the charge port and the car starts supplying the socket.
How do I switch the discharge on?
Plug it into the Type 2 charge port and press the button on the Type 2 connector. The same button turns it off.
How much can I run from it?
Up to 3kW through a UK 3-pin outlet, or 3.6kW on CEE and Schuko, depending on the car. A 60W laptop charger, a 45W cool box and LED lights barely register. A standard 3kW kettle is right at the limit through the 3-pin socket, so a 2kW travel kettle is the safer choice, and the same goes for fan heaters on full.
Which length should I choose?
The 0.5m lead suits plugging in an extension next to the car. Go for 5m or 10m if you want the socket at a tent, an awning or a workbench without trailing anything else.
Can I plug it into my house or a caravan hook-up?
No. A vehicle-to-load lead must never be connected to any other electrical system, such as a house, a caravan hook-up or a generator inlet. There is no voltage or phase synchronisation, so doing it can seriously damage both the car and the other system, and it will void your vehicle warranty.

What customers say about us

  • First class service

    First class service. Ordered 15m cable and it was delivered next day. Minor hiccup in that the accompanying bag was missing. Quick email to Jake at EV Cable Hub and the bag arrived next working day. 1st class product and even better customer service. Thank you.
