AltWhich EVs have V2L?
More than you'd think, at wildly different power levels. Here's the landscape as of early 2026 — but verify your exact trim and model year, because the traps are all in the details.
Two cars with the same name can be completely different
V2L varies by trim and model year, and the gaps are large. A base F-150 Lightning does 2.4 kW; a higher trim does 9.6 kW. Some Hyundai and Kia trims ship without the V2L adapter and you buy it separately. Never assume from the model name — confirm the specific build, and on the used market confirm the hardware is actually present.
The landscape, early 2026
| Vehicle | V2L output | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hyundai Ioniq 5 / 6 / 9 | ~1.9 kW US | Adapter into charge port; some trims also have a cabin outlet. Higher output in other markets. |
| Kia EV6 / EV9 | ~1.9 kW US | Same platform, same adapter approach |
| Genesis GV60 / Electrified GV70 | 1.9–3.6 kW | Same Hyundai group system |
| Rivian R1T / R1S | modest | Accessory outlets in bed and trunk; camping-scale, not jobsite |
| Ford F-150 Lightning | 2.4 or 9.6 kW | Trim-dependent. Pro Power Onboard; 120V and 240V outlets |
| Tesla Cybertruck | ~11 kW peak | Bed outlets incl. 240V; cabin 120V |
| Chevy Silverado EV | high | Multiple outlets, jobsite-oriented |
| Lucid Gravity | ~1.8 kW | Three cabin/trunk sockets combined |
| 2026 Nissan Leaf | ~1.5 kW | NACS, single V2L outlet |
Specs change fast and this table is a starting point, not a spec sheet. Confirm output, outlet type, and whether the adapter is included for your exact model year and trim before buying anything.
Two ways V2L is delivered
Charge-port adapter
The Hyundai group approach: a dongle plugs into the car's charging port and gives you a household outlet on a short pigtail. Nothing inside the cabin required. The catch is that the adapter is a separate part on some trims — confirm it's in the deal.
Built-in outlets
Trucks mostly do it this way: actual receptacles in the bed and cabin, sometimes including 240V. More convenient, no adapter to lose, and generally higher power.
Don't confuse V2L with Tesla's approach
Tesla was historically cautious about V2L. The Model 3 and Model Y don't have V2L outlets; the Cybertruck added bed and cabin outlets. Tesla's home-backup story is a separate system called Powershare, which needs specific hardware — that's V2H, and it's covered on its own page, not here.
Buying for backup? Ask these before you sign
- What's the continuous V2L output on this exact trim and year?
- Is the adapter included, or a separate purchase?
- Outlets in the vehicle, or adapter-only?
- Is there a 240V outlet, or only 120V?
- Can I set a discharge floor so V2L won't strand me?
- Used: is the V2L hardware actually present and functional?
