The Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 both have a facility called V2L - Vehicle to Load. Basically, you can use the car as a power bank, plugging in using a 13 amp UK plug (although it can bear up to 16 amps).

This has HUGE implications in Caravan Design, as it means you can do away with LPG and the leisure battery, saving over 50kg in weight.

Or does it? I put it to the test in the real world, caravanning off-grid in Scotland and using just the V2L to power the caravan.
