"This means that owners of the refreshed sporty Model Y will be able to export energy from the car's high-voltage battery to power tools or appliances through an adapter that's sold separately. Tesla confirmed the 2026 Model Y Performance officially supports V2L in a comment on X. The company replied to another person who posted a Grok AI-generated response that said the car supported both vehicle-to-load and vehicle-to-home (V2H)."
"To be clear, Tesla's reply states that the refreshed Model Y Performance only supports vehicle-to-load through the Tesla Outlet Adapter. The $80 adapter plugs into the latest generation Mobile Connector, which in turn plugs into the car's charging port. With this setup, the Model Y Performance can output a maximum of 120 volts at 20 amps to a pair of household outlets, for a total of 2.4 kilowatts."
"The feature has long been present on EVs made by Hyundai, Kia, Ford and General Motors. Despite being at the forefront of the electric car industry, Tesla has been extremely slow in implementing the feature, at least officially. The Cybertruck became the first Tesla EV to offer both V2L and V2H when it debuted in 2019, with the refreshed Model Y Performance now joining the party, albeit just on the vehicle-to-load front."
The 2026 Tesla Model Y Performance supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), enabling owners to export energy from the car's high-voltage battery to power tools or appliances via a separately sold adapter. Tesla specified that V2L is available only through the Tesla Outlet Adapter, which costs $80 and plugs into the latest-generation Mobile Connector that connects to the car's charging port. The system provides up to 120 volts at 20 amps to two household outlets, delivering a total of 2.4 kilowatts. The Cybertruck previously offered both V2L and vehicle-to-home (V2H), and other manufacturers like Hyundai, Kia, Ford, and GM have long included V2L. Tesla's website did not list the feature at launch.
