Do you want 230V in your caravan – without lugging around a generator and without messing with loose adapters? If your electric car supports V2L (Vehicle-to-Load), you can use the car as a stable power source for camping life.

Here's the point: It only works really well when the cable is made for the purpose.

That's why many people choose V2L for camping

V2L means that the car can deliver 230V for external consumption. When camping, this is brilliant because you typically want power for:

• Refrigerator

• Light

• Charging (phone, tablet, laptop)

• Router/TV

• Small kitchen appliances for short periods (depends on the car's V2L power)

The car is practically a large battery that you already have with you – and you avoid noise, smell and gasoline.

The solution: Car-to-caravan cable with blue CEE plug

When you want to run 230V from the car to the caravan, a correct cable with blue CEE plug (230V/16A) the neat and safe way to do it.

Why not just a "cheap adapter"?

Camping is not just about getting power – but about getting it in a way that can withstand outdoor use and repeated plugging and unplugging.

With the right cable you typically get:

• A solution made for the purpose (not a makeshift solution)

• Robust plug connections

• A more “fixed” and tidy installation at the caravan

Power station (portable power station): when you want extra power and more freedom

If you want electricity in the caravan without the car having to be connected all the time, or if you just want an extra buffer for the evening/night, then a power station (portable power station) a really good complement to V2L.

You can charge the power station via the car (V2L) and then use it as a stable power source for e.g. lighting, charging a phone/tablet, router, cool box and other 230V/USB equipment.

What do you need? (quick checklist)

• An electric car with V2L or a solution that can add V2L functionality

• A car-to-caravan cable with blue CEE plug

• A caravan/installation that can accept 230V via CEE

• (Optional) Power station (portable power station), if you want extra capacity and be able to use power without the car being plugged in

If the car does not have V2L from the factory

Some cars do not have V2L as standard. In those cases, in selected scenarios, you can use an external converter that adds V2L functionality.

Typical questions (FAQ)

Can I use V2L for everything in the caravan?

You can use V2L for a lot, but not necessarily for everything at once. It depends on the car's V2L power (W/kW) and the caravan's consumption.

Is the blue CEE plug standard on camping sites?

Yes, blue CEE plug (230V/16A) is widely used on campsites and in camping installations.

What is the advantage of a power station?

A power station (portable power station) gives you a buffer and flexibility: you can charge it via the car and use power even when the car is not plugged in.
