Modern electric cars are becoming much more than simple means of transport. Thanks to Vehicle-To-Load Technology (V2L), these vehicles can be used as moving energy sources, capable of feeding appliances, charging mobile phones and even keeping a house working during blackouts.

The battery of an electric car with medium capacity, for example, can supply a residence for several days, becoming a practical and silent solution in emergency situations, without the need for traditional generators.
V2L operation requires some specific components, such as an adapter that converts car battery energy (direct current) to the residential pattern (alternating current), plus an inverter to ensure compatibility with higher power appliances. In many models, the vehicle’s built -in charger itself can turn the battery energy into 110V or 220V, ready for immediate use in ordinary outlets. According to experts, this process has minimal battery impact, as long as it is properly monitored, something facilitated by automakers’ applications.
In addition to the V2L, another on the rise is the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2g), which transforms electric cars into the electric grid allies. With this system, the vehicle can return energy to the network during peak hours, helping to balance the supply and reducing costs in the electricity bill.
