Hyundai / Kia / Genesis Compatible V2L (Vehicle to Load) | Discharge Cable

A simple adapter power source (Hyundai, Kia and Genesis only)

This vehicle to load (V2L) cable, sometimes called vehicle to device (V2D), turns the car into a power source for household appliances. It suits the Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kona Electric, IONIQ 6, IONIQ 9 and INSTER, the Kia EV3, EV6, EV9 and Niro EV 4, and the Genesis Electric GV60, Electric GV70 and Electric GV80. In short, any vehicle built on the E-GMP platform.

Using it is simple. Plug into your Type 2 charge port and press the button on the Type 2 connector to toggle the V2L function on and off. Depending on the car, you can connect up to 3kW of load through a UK 3-pin outlet, or 3.6kW through CEE and Schuko. Enough to run camping equipment out in the wilderness.

Important: a vehicle to load cable should never be connected to any other electrical system. There is no voltage or phase synchronisation, so doing so voids your vehicle warranty and has the potential to cause serious damage to both the connected system and the car.

What the IP44 rating means

IP44 (ingress protection) means the cable will operate in dusty conditions and will resist splashes of water while mated. The charging process is not fully water sealed, though, so the cable must never be submerged.

Cable information

• 16A, 3G1.5, 10.5mm diameter

Looking after it

• Keep the cable out of puddles. Stored outside is fine.
• Fit the rubber dust cover when the cable is not in use, so debris cannot collect in the connector.
• Moisture is the most common issue we see, and it corrodes the pins, which our warranty does not cover.

Worth knowing about charging in the rain: water can still reach the plug and the charging socket as you insert or remove it. As soon as the charge port is open, or the car is unplugged, rain lands on those pins and stays there until the next time you charge.
