Tesla Model Y Brings Game-Changing V2L Technology to Australian Drivers

Tesla continues to cement its position as Australia's leading electric vehicle brand by addressing one of the most requested features from its loyal customer base. The introduction of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability to the Model Y lineup marks a significant evolution in how Tesla owners can utilise their vehicles beyond transportation. This feature transforms the Model Y into a mobile power station, capable of running everything from camping equipment to power tools, and even charging other electric vehicles in emergency situations.

Closing the gap on competitor features:

While V2L technology has been available in competing EVs from brands like BYD, Hyundai, and Kia, Tesla owners have long awaited this functionality. The wait is finally over, as recently highlighted by The Driven, with the 2026 Model Y Performance leading the charge. Tesla confirmed via social media that new Model Y Performance vehicles will offer V2L capability at 120V and 20A AC, complete with a Tesla Outlet Adapter included with the vehicle.

• Tesla remains Australia's best-selling EV brand, driven by cutting-edge technology and exceptional ownership experience
• The Model Y is the world's best-selling electric vehicle, now enhanced with V2L capability
• V2L technology first debuted on Tesla's Cybertruck before expanding to the Model Y lineup
• Australian-delivered 2026 Model Y Performance vehicles, manufactured in Germany, are expected to receive this feature

This addition represents more than just feature parity with competitors. It demonstrates Tesla's commitment to listening to customer feedback and continuously improving the ownership experience. For Australian drivers who enjoy camping, outdoor adventures, or simply want backup power security during outages, the Model Y's new V2L capability adds substantial real-world value to an already impressive vehicle.
