India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is evolving rapidly, and one of the most exciting developments is the emergence of EVs equipped with V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) technology. These features are turning electric cars into mobile power hubs — capable of powering appliances or even charging other EVs!

What is V2L and V2V?

V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) allows an electric vehicle to supply power to external devices — such as laptops, camping equipment, power tools, or even your home appliances — using the car’s battery.
V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), on the other hand, lets one EV charge another, offering a convenient backup in case another vehicle runs out of power.

EVs in India with V2L/V2V Features

Some of the trending EVs in India that showcase these smart capabilities include:

• Hyundai IONIQ 5: A premium EV that features V2L support, allowing users to power devices directly from the car — perfect for road trips or emergency use.
• Kia EV6: Known for its futuristic design and ultra-fast charging, the EV6 also offers V2L functionality, further adding to its versatility.
• MG ZS EV (facelift): While not full-fledged V2L/V2V yet, MG is actively exploring these features for future models.
• BYD Atto 3: Another newcomer in the Indian market, the Atto 3 includes V2L support and is gaining popularity for its tech-forward approach.

As India’s EV infrastructure continues to improve, technologies like V2L and V2V will become more valuable — especially in areas with unreliable electricity or for users looking to get the most out of their vehicle battery. It’s not just about driving anymore; it’s about being connected, powered, and self-reliant on the go.
