Using EV6’s Onboard Power Generator^*

Many customers want a vehicle that can empower an on-the-go lifestyle while keeping them connected where it counts—and EV6 measures up. Certain trims of the EV6 now offer an Onboard Power Generator^* (vehicle-to-load, more commonly known as V2L), which utilizes the vehicle battery power devices and electronics both inside and outside the vehicle. In the event of a home power outage, the Onboard Power Generator^* can even power household appliances, such as a microwave or portable heater. By making sure customers know how to access this feature, you can enhance their Kia EV ownership experience.
