What's V2L?

V2L enables you to use your car to power appliances when your doing garden work, camping, e-biking or to keep your home running in emergency situations. Simply plug one end of the V2L cable in the Type 2 port and power your appliance from the socket at the other end of the cable. Lengths from 0.5 to 15m.

How To Get The 20% Off

Find our more here (MG OR Kia, Hyundai, Genesis) and just use promo code "EVTV2L" at the checkout to claim your 20% off.

Help Us Spead the Word.

3. EV Tip: One For The Newbies

Watch your speed in built up areas! The unexpectedly rapid acceleration and the silence can leave you 'way above the limit before you notice. Best to keep an eye on it to save those speeding tickets coming through your door!

6. EV Tech: Science & Stuff

Electric cars are beneficial both financially and environmentally, making them a great option for drivers who want to reduce emissions and fuel costs. However, slow charging time is one of the reasons why some prospective buyers remain hesitant. In an unexpected twist, electric cars may get a hand from a cooling system designed for future NASA space missions. Amazingly, this could cut the charging times of electric vehicles to five minutes or less!

Until next time. Have a fantastic week!
