hi all, does anyone know if Kia could possibly roll out an update to enable V2L on all the EV3 models? I read somewhere that all the models have the capability, but it's only enabled on the higher spec versions.

Fortunately here in New Zealand V2L is standard on all EV3 models, 3 pin hotpoint by back seat and adapter included for the charge port.
Thanks. So, it probably is possible to roll this out here in Ireland. Only the top version (GT-Line) has it and the Earth 3 and Earth 2 versions don't, including the 3 pin hotpoint. I had both on my previous 2022 Niro EV, so was disappointed to find out it wasn't standard on all EV3s

Just a thought and may not be relevant, but the US EV6 Light trim did not include the V2L adapter that the Wind and GT-Line trims had, but the V2L adapter worked just fine with the Light as an add-on. Is there any way you could borrow or test one from a GT-Line owner or your dealer? Perhaps it will work "out-of-the-box."
I have a V2L adapter from another EV and tried it, but unfortunately it didn't work.
