Overview
Mains power from your VW ID. Buzz
Plenty of ID. Buzz owners treat theirs as a camper, and V2L is what makes that work away from a site. Run this lead out of the side door to the awning and the kettle, the lights and a small fridge all run off the car.
Before you order: V2L came to the ID. range with software version 6. If your Buzz has not had that update the discharge function will not be there, so check with your dealer first.
Switching it on
Plug it into the Type 2 charge port, then press and hold the button on the Type 2 connector for three seconds. Press it again to stop.
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
Volkswagen ID. Buzz, including the long-wheelbase and Cargo versions. 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 Volkswagen leads are on our Volkswagen V2L page, and every car we cover is in the V2L adapter range.

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.
