The car was equipped with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology and acted as the only source of power in a region of the world which exists off the electrical grid. It demonstrated the transition to a smart and clean mobility solution. Moreover the Ioniq 5 also supplied energy to an off-grid cabin for a cosy dinner, only using the V2L function of the SUV.

A Hyundai Ioniq 5 has recently powered a remote reindeer farm in Tromso, Norway continuously for three days. The car was equipped with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology and acted as the only source of power in a region of the world which exists off the electrical grid. It demonstrated the transition to a smart and clean mobility solution. Moreover the Ioniq 5 also supplied energy to an off-grid cabin for a cosy dinner, only using the V2L function of the SUV.

Speaking of the V2L technology, it provides the power and charge the electronic devices all without generating emissions. This means that the technology comes handy in regions which exist off-grid and become a source of power helping people in such locations around the globe.
