V2L, V2H and V2G

Last checked: 8 November 2026.

Three terms for using your car's battery as a power source. They sound alike and are very different in what they need.

Term Stands for What it does What it needs
V2L Vehicle to load Powers appliances directly from the car (camping gear, tools, a laptop) An adapter or socket on the car
V2H Vehicle to home Powers your house, mainly as backup during an outage A bidirectional charger and home wiring changes
V2G Vehicle to grid Exports energy back to the electricity network A certified bidirectional charger, network approval, usually a program or retailer, and car-maker support

V2G is described by Ausgrid as "exporting electricity from the battery of an EV to a home, building and the electricity network"1. V2H is simpler than V2G and "already achievable in limited setups", mainly for backup power during outages2. Grid export needs network operator approval and usually participation in a specific program2.

V2L, V2H and V2G: where the power goes Three ways power can leave an EV battery. V2L goes to an appliance such as a camp fridge or tools, via the car socket or an adapter; Zeekr 7X and X give 3.3 kW, and it is available on both. V2H goes to the house switchboard through a bidirectional charger for backup power; not supported on Zeekr per sources, unconfirmed. V2G exports to the street network through the house meter and needs a certified charger and network approval; not supported on Zeekr per sources, unconfirmed, with trials in Australia on other cars. V2L, V2H AND V2G V2L yes. V2H and V2G, not yet. Three ways out of the battery. Only one is confirmed on a Zeekr. EV battery V2L Appliance (camp fridge, tools) Via car socket or adapter. Zeekr 7X and X: 3.3 kW Available on Zeekr 7X and X V2H House switchboard Bidirectional charger. Backup power Not supported on Zeekr per sources UNCONFIRMED V2G Street network (grid), via the house meter Export. Needs certified charger and network approval Not supported on Zeekr per sources; trials in Australia on other cars UNCONFIRMED
Where the power goes, what each needs, and where Zeekr stands.

Which Zeekrs support V2L

  • 7X: all variants have V2L at 3.3 kW3. Australian sources agree on 3.3 kW. One non-Australian source gives other figures; we did not use it.
  • X: Zecar's charging guide lists V2L at 3.3 kW and V2H as unsupported4. At launch in 2024, The Driven reported V2L "up to 3 kW", with no confirmation of V2H or V2G5. Zeekr Australia's own X page says "3.3 kWh", which is a unit typo for kW6. Treat 3.3 kW as likely but not confirmed by a Zeekr spec sheet.
  • 009: we found no source for V2L on the 009, so we do not say either way.
  • V2H and V2G on Zeekr: we found no source confirming either on any Zeekr in Australia. Zecar lists V2H as unsupported on the X4. Do not assume your car can do either.

What 3.3 kW runs

3.3 kW is a limit on total draw, so add up what you plug in. How the adapter connects and any safety limits are in your owner's manual.

Australian status of V2H and V2G, November 2026

A short timeline from sources we read:

  • Nov 2024: Standards Australia approved a new V2G standard covering inverters and bidirectional chargers. Minister Chris Bowen said products could be registered by that Christmas, with each product registered with the Clean Energy Council (CEC)7. Previously only South Australia permitted V2G chargers in homes7. One summary says the AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 update defines two V2G modes; Mode 3 (AC) needs the car to comply with AS/NZS 4777.2, and Mode 4 (DC) is expected to see more use8. We could not read the standard itself or a Standards Australia page, so this is secondary.
  • Jul 2025: Ausgrid connected its first fully operational V2G system, a StarCharge Halo 7.4 kW single-phase charger at its Artarmon depot, as a test. Ausgrid said rollout depends on CEC approval, cable approvals, car-maker permission and agreements with network operators9.
  • Early 2026: CEC approvals arrived. Reports say StarCharge's Halo 7.4 kW was CEC-listed in March 202610 and Infypower's 6.2 kW DC wallbox passed CEC certification in January 202611.
  • Apr 2026: NRMA lists three CEC-approved bidirectional chargers "for installation anywhere in Australia": StarCharge Halo, Infypower Numbat7 and the SigEnergy EV DC charging module. It says the main barrier is car-maker warranty: outside trials and "a couple of exceptions", V2G use "currently risks voiding the battery warranty"12. Another summary lists a different set of approved chargers, so check the CEC list for the current position10.
V2G in Australia: milestones Timeline of V2G in Australia: Nov 2024 Standards Australia approves a V2G standard; Jul 2025 Ausgrid connects its first V2G system, 7.4 kW, as a depot test; Jan 2026 Infypower 6.2 kW DC wallbox reported CEC-certified; Mar 2026 StarCharge Halo 7.4 kW CEC-listed; Apr 2026 NRMA lists 3 CEC-approved chargers and says warranty is the main barrier. As of Nov 2026 this wiki's research found no Zeekr confirmed for V2H or V2G. V2G IN AUSTRALIA: MILESTONES V2G is brand new here.

What it means for a Zeekr owner today

  1. V2L: yes on the 7X and likely the X, using the car's own adapter.
  2. V2H and V2G: not yet, as far as we can confirm. We found no source saying any Zeekr supports either in Australia.
  3. Warranty. Zeekr's Australian warranty is 8 years or 160,000 km on the high-voltage battery. We did not find Zeekr policy on bidirectional use, so ask Zeekr Australia in writing before connecting a V2G or V2H system13.
  4. Network approvals and tariffs are still evolving. Export usually requires a program and network approval2.

Trials

The ARENA-funded NRMA and Amber trial has 25 households with BYD Atto 3s exporting to the grid for bill credits, with a waitlist of 5,500 people12.
