Not the first time
As surprising as it may be for some people to see cooking using an electric car, this is not the first that has happened. Just a couple of months ago, we shared a clip where a man was seen cooking instant noodles “Maggie” using the same V2L feature in his Tata Curvv.ev. In this short clip, the Curvv.ev was also seen powering an electric induction cooktop on which Maggie was being cooked in a vessel. Prior to this another video was shared online in which a man was seen using the same to fry Puris.
Hyundai Creta Electric and MG Windsor Pro also offer V2L
The recently launched MG Windsor Pro and the Hyundai Creta Electric also offer the same V2L feature. This particular feature is very useful for people who love to go on camping trips. They can use their vehicle as a generator to power lights, speakers, induction cooktops and other small appliances which increase the comfort while enjoying the outside lifestyle.
