Ioniq’s biderectional charging interface t0 enable V2L is very handy on the move if you want a cuppa. Not only will it power acaravan but, with a little gadgetry and know how, a basic changeover switch you could power the lights in your home in the event of a powercut!
Hyundai are trialling a number of modified ioniq 5’s with a different interface and inverter to that needed for V2L. This will ultimately make the ioniq 5 capable of V2H or V2G. With the use of a bidirectional wall box the possibilities of powering your own, topping up solar batteries will bring the marque into the future. Unfortunately these trials are being carried out in Germany and the Netherland and there’s no guarantee it will make it t every ioniq car.
Coupled with the brand 800v architecture, which is only seen in the likes of the Audi GT and Porsche Taycan, brings the brand as a force to be reckoned with. Its just a shame they can’t match the range of the Enyak!
