Common questions

What is V2L on an electric car?

Vehicle-to-load: a power outlet, or an adaptor in the charge port, that lets the car run 240 V appliances from its battery.

Which EVs have V2L in Australia?

We've confirmed it on 18 models on sale, including the BYD Atto 1, BYD Dolphin, Geely EX2, GWM Ora 5. Newer Tesla Model 3 and Model Y can with Tesla's adaptor.

How much power can V2L supply?

Usually 2–3.6 kW, and up to 6 kW on a few cars. That runs a kettle, a fridge or power tools, but not a whole house.

Does using V2L hurt the battery?

No more than driving. Most cars let you set a minimum charge level so you still have range to get home.

How we work it out, and our sources

Weekly cost = the car's energy use × 250 km × your electricity or fuel price, with 90% of charging at home. Prices are list prices at November 2026; check with the dealer.

  • Electricity: 2026–27 default rates (AER, Victorian Default Offer, state retailers). Public charging: Sydney network prices, July 2026.
  • Petrol and diesel: capital-city daily averages from state government price feeds, via FuelRadar, 12 November 2026. Diesel for Hobart, Canberra and Darwin is estimated from the national fall.
  • Cars: maker figures via CarExpert, Drive, CarsGuide and EV Central. Plug-in electric range is taken as 80% of the claim.
  • Servicing: published capped prices; marked as an estimate where not yet published (CarExpert comparison).
  • Tyres: an EV set lasts about 35,000 km, a petrol or hybrid set 50,000 km (RACV); prices from Gridly.
  • Home charger: about $2,000 installed ($1,000–$3,000). Novated leases: PwC summary.
