Product Overview
The CREVAG02-16A EU Standard AC Discharge Gun is a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) adapter that transforms any compatible Type 2 electric vehicle into a portable power source. For outdoor professionals, camping operators, emergency service providers, and EV accessory distributors across Europe, V2L technology unlocks an entirely new category of use cases — powering tools, appliances, and equipment directly from the EV’s high-voltage battery.
Rated at 3.5 kW with 230V AC output (±10%), this discharge gun delivers enough power to run portable air conditioners, power tools, kitchen appliances, lighting rigs, and emergency medical equipment. The 5-meter cable provides ample reach, and the Type 2 connector is fully compatible with V2L-enabled European EVs including the Hyundai Ioniq 5/6, Kia EV6, MG 4/5, BYD Atto 3, and many newer models.
Manufactured in our IATF 16949-certified Wenzhou factory with 10,000+ cycle durability and built-in safety protections, the V2L discharge gun is a high-margin, fast-growing product category for EV accessory distributors and outdoor recreation retailers. ChuangRui offers full OEM/ODM customization including branding, packaging, and outlet type configuration.
Key Features & Advantages
1. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) Technology
V2L technology draws DC power from the EV’s traction battery and converts it to 230V AC household power through the vehicle’s onboard inverter. Our discharge gun provides the safe, standardized Type 2 interface and a Schuko/Type F AC outlet, enabling any V2L-compatible EV to power external devices up to 3.5 kW.
2. 3.5 kW Output — Enough for Real-World Use
With 3.5 kW of continuous power output (up to 16A at 230V), the discharge gun can simultaneously run multiple devices — for example, a 1500W electric grill plus a 500W fridge plus 500W of lighting — making it practical for camping, worksites, and emergency scenarios rather than just a novelty feature.
3. Type 2 EU Standard Connector
The vehicle-side connector is IEC 62196-2 Type 2 compliant, ensuring compatibility with all V2L-enabled European EVs. Hyundai/Kia E-GMP platform vehicles, MG, BYD, and many other brands support V2L through their Type 2 charging inlet — our discharge gun is the accessory that unlocks this capability.
4. 10,000+ Charging Cycle Durability
Engineered for long service life, the discharge gun connector is rated for more than 10,000 charging/discharging cycles. This is significantly higher than consumer-grade alternatives and translates to years of regular use — a key selling point for B2B customers who need reliable equipment.
5. Comprehensive Safety Protection
Built-in protections include overcurrent protection, over-temperature protection, short-circuit protection, and undervoltage shutdown. These safety features work in concert with the vehicle’s own battery management system (BMS) to ensure safe V2L operation under all conditions.
6. Wide Operating Temperature Range (-20°C to +50°C)
Tested and rated for operation from -20°C to +50°C, the discharge gun performs reliably in Nordic winters and Mediterranean summers — an important consideration for European buyers across the continent’s diverse climate zones.
7. High Altitude Rated (≤2000m)
The discharge gun is certified for operation at altitudes up to 2000 meters above sea level, covering the vast majority of European terrain including alpine regions and mountainous areas where outdoor recreation and construction activity is common.
8. In-House Engineering & IATF 16949 Quality
ChuangRui’s in-house PCB design capability and IATF 16949-certified manufacturing ensure consistent build quality across every discharge gun we produce. For OEM partners, this means reliable performance, documented traceability, and direct engineering support for custom projects. Learn more about Why IATF 16949 Matters for EV Charging Equipment.

Application Scenarios
Outdoor Recreation & Camping Equipment Retailers
European camping and outdoor retailers are rapidly adding V2L adapters to their product lines as more campers switch to electric vehicles. With 3.5 kW of output, our discharge gun powers camping fridges, electric grills, lighting, portable AC units, and coffee makers — making it a premium accessory for the growing EV-camping market.
Construction & Field Worksites
On construction sites and remote work locations, V2L discharge guns provide instant portable power without a generator. Tradespeople can run power tools, lighting, and small equipment directly from their work EV — eliminating fuel costs, noise, and emissions associated with portable generators.
Emergency Services & Disaster Response
Emergency response organizations, utility companies, and civil defense agencies use V2L technology to provide backup power during outages and disaster scenarios. The discharge gun can power communication equipment, medical devices, lighting, and water pumps — turning fleet EVs into mobile power stations.
Food Trucks, Mobile Vendors & Event Operations
Food truck operators, mobile retailers, and event production teams use V2L discharge guns to power equipment from their delivery EVs. The clean, silent AC power is ideal for indoor venues, outdoor events, and noise-sensitive environments where gasoline generators are impractical or prohibited.
EV Accessory Distributors & Auto Aftermarket
V2L adapters are one of the fastest-growing EV accessory categories in Europe. For distributors and auto aftermarket retailers, ChuangRui’s factory-direct pricing, OEM/ODM customization, and IATF 16949 quality make this discharge gun a high-margin addition to any product catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which electric vehicles support V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) discharge?
A: V2L compatibility depends on the vehicle’s onboard inverter and BMS configuration. Vehicles known to support V2L through the Type 2 port include Hyundai Ioniq 5/6, Kia EV6, MG 4 / MG 5 / MG ZS EV, BYD Atto 3 / Dolphin / Seal, and several newer Chinese EV models entering the European market. Always verify compatibility with the specific vehicle model and trim level before purchase.
Q: Is 3.5 kW enough power for my use case?
A: 3.5 kW at 230V is sufficient for most portable power applications: camping equipment (fridge, lights, cookware — typically under 2 kW total), power tools (500W–1500W each), emergency devices, and small appliances. For heavy industrial equipment or simultaneous high-power loads, a dedicated generator or high-power V2H system may be more appropriate.
Q: Can the discharge gun damage my vehicle’s battery?
A: No. The discharge gun works passively with the vehicle’s own battery management system (BMS), which controls discharge parameters, depth of discharge, and safety limits. The vehicle’s BMS will automatically stop discharging before the battery reaches an unsafe level. Our product includes additional safety protections as a secondary layer.
Q: Can you customize the output socket type for different European markets?
A: Yes. We can configure the output end with Schuko (Type F), UK 3-pin (Type G), or other socket types to match your target market. For OEM orders with sufficient volume, we can also integrate multiple socket types or USB charging ports. Contact our engineering team to discuss custom configurations.
Q: What certifications does the V2L discharge gun hold?
A: The EU version carries CE marking and TUV certification. Our factory is IATF 16949 certified. For UKCA or other regional certification requirements, please contact our sales team — we support additional certification projects for volume orders.
Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?
A: Standard MOQ is 50 units per configuration for branded ChuangRui products. OEM/private-label MOQ starts at 100 units. Lead time is typically 25–35 days depending on order size and customization. Sample units are available for evaluation prior to bulk ordering.
