One of the biggest advantages of electric cars is that they can power things without spitting out nasty fumes. Their huge high-voltage batteries can send power to just about any outlet imaginable–from a traditional 12-volt socket to an electrical panel that feeds an entire house.
They’re huge batteries on wheels, and more and more automakers are taking advantage of this by offering what’s called vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality. In plain English, this means people can simply plug electrical equipment into a household socket inside or outside the car to power things like a refrigerator, tools, or camping equipment.

This is different from vehicle-to-home (V2H), which integrates the car’s battery into a house’s electrical system via a bidirectional charger. It’s also different from vehicle-to-grid (V2G), which can send power from the battery to the grid via an inverter.
Having AC outlets isn’t anything new—some gas-powered cars also come with them—but having a lot of power at your fingertips without needing to run an engine is only possible with an EV.
So we thought it would be a good idea to round up all the EVs that are offered with AC outlets in the United States. Who knows, maybe it will help you decide on your next car purchase.

Tesla Cybertruck
The Cybertruck is Tesla’s first model capable of exporting power from its battery, with up to 9.6 kW of combined power going through five household outlets. Alternatively, the PowerShare adapter that plugs into the Gen3 Mobile Charger can output power directly from the charging port for appliances and tools.
Tesla Model Y

Tesla's breadwinner, the Model Y, finally got the ability to export power from its high-voltage battery in late 2025. However, not all trims get the same treatment, as the entry-level models have been left out. This means only the Model Y Premium, Model Y Performance, and Model Y L come with V2L, and only through an adapter that plugs into the mobile charger. It delivers up to 2.4 kW through two sockets.
