**Opel Expands EV Capabilities with Vehicle-to-Load Technology**
Opel announced the rollout of vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology across its electric vehicle lineup, enabling cars to function as mobile power sources for external devices.
The feature, now available in models including the Astra Electric, Grandland Electric, Mokka Electric, Corsa Electric, and Combo Electric, allows users to power appliances such as e-bikes or electric grills directly from the vehicle battery, delivering up to 3.6 kW via a dedicated adapter.
The updated Astra Electric also offers an extended driving range of up to 454 km (WLTP), supported by a 58 kWh battery, while all models feature bidirectional charging systems. Opel said the move is part of its broader “Electric All In” strategy, aimed at accelerating adoption of electric mobility by bundling services such as home charging solutions and extended roadside assistance.
The company continues to expand electric functionality and convenience features as it pushes further into the EV market.
