Was reading on the Renault Zoe subreddit about fitting an Inverter because this Car has No V2L, and i thought about that in the past but never did it because why throw Money at Something where i can’t think of usecases other than ‘it would be neat’. So to the people who have V2L, what are you using it for?
I’ve used V2L in several power outages to keep my fridge, freezer, fish tank and wifi running, along with some lights and charging laptops.
I’ve also used it to run power tools when out and away from any outlets. Most recently an angle grinder, but have run a table saw and circular saw as well.
Can also run a shop vac for cleaning the car.
This is all from the v2l adapter I purchased for my Ioniq 5.
It’s funny but running the shop vac when cleaning the car is super convenient. We get 4-5 power outages a year in the West Coast of Canada so v2l is awesome for those 5+ hours. I’m also assuming we’re going to get a more serious outage that lasts days, in the winter without heat it could get uncomfortable.
