Power On-The-Go: Practical Uses for Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) in Your 2025 Kia EV9

Your 2025 Kia EV9 doubles as a mobile power station. The innovative Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology gives you access to household electricity wherever you travel, turning your electric SUV into an essential tool for both everyday convenience and unexpected situations.

V2L technology enables your EV9 to supply AC power to external devices through a simple adapter connected to the charging port. With up to 3.6kW available, you'll power everything from small electronics to household appliances, adding substantial functionality to your vehicle investment.

Ontario Adventure Support

Newmarket and York Region residents enjoy abundant outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the year. The EV9's V2L system powers your campsite at Sibbald Point Provincial Park without generators or elaborate setups. Connect electric coolers, portable cooking equipment, or lighting systems directly to your vehicle for comfort far from electrical hookups.

This capability proves invaluable at conservation areas like Scanlon Creek or the Holland River trails, where you can recharge cameras, drones, and other equipment while exploring. Capture perfect Lake Simcoe sunsets without battery concerns.

Emergency Preparedness

Ontario weather brings its challenges—from winter ice storms to summer power outages. During these events, your EV9 transforms into an emergency power source for critical home items.

With V2L capabilities, you power:

• Essential medical equipment
• Refrigerators to protect food
• Internet routers for emergency communications
• Mobile devices for family coordination

This functionality extends well beyond transportation, making your EV9 an integral part of household resilience during unexpected power disruptions.

Supporting Outdoor Activities

Local events such as the Newmarket Music Festival or Fairy Lake activities benefit from V2L capabilities. Power small speakers, lighting, or cooking equipment for gatherings without hunting for public outlets.

For fishing enthusiasts heading to Lake Simcoe or the Holland River, the V2L system keeps electric coolers running to preserve your catch or charges navigation equipment between outings.

Create outdoor workspaces anywhere—set up a mobile office at Riverwalk Commons with full laptop power without draining your computer's battery during remote work days.

How V2L Works in Your EV9

Using the Vehicle-to-Load function requires just a few steps:

1. Connect the V2L adapter to your EV9's charging port
2. Plug your devices into the standard electrical outlet on the adapter
3. Press the activation button on the adapter
4. Track power usage through your EV9's infotainment system

The interior V2L outlet, located in the second row, offers similar functionality without the external adapter—ideal for passengers needing to power laptops or other devices while traveling.

Power Management

Your EV9 handles power distribution intelligently to prevent excessive battery drain. The system automatically stops providing power when the battery reaches your preset discharge limit, ensuring you maintain necessary range for your driving needs.

Through the EV9's infotainment system, you:

• Monitor real-time power consumption
• Set minimum battery levels
• Schedule power availability
• Track energy usage

This intelligent approach prevents accidentally draining your battery while using the V2L feature.

Practical Output Capacity

The EV9's V2L system delivers up to 3.6kW, enough for:

• Small appliances (coffee makers, blenders, microwaves)
• Entertainment systems (TVs, speakers, gaming consoles)
• Power tools for projects or emergency repairs
• Multiple device charging stations
• Small heating or cooling appliances

This capacity handles most household electronics, though very high-power appliances like full-size refrigerators may operate at reduced efficiency.

Beyond Emergency Use

While emergency power offers significant value, everyday applications enhance your lifestyle:

• Power laptops and office equipment at sports events
• Run projectors and sound systems for outdoor movie nights
• Support photography equipment during special events
• Provide power for pre-game gatherings
• Enable extended stays at parks without facility access

Value Beyond the Vehicle

The 2025 Kia EV9's V2L capability fundamentally changes how your electric vehicle integrates into daily life. Beyond transportation, your EV9 serves as a versatile power solution that enhances recreation, provides security during outages, and expands your lifestyle options.

The next time winter storms affect York Region or you're planning a weekend at Musselman's Lake, your EV9 provides an additional layer of security and convenience through this practical technology.
