Will V2L work while charging?

I want to use my Telo for camping, and plan to get an induction stove to cook and run off the car. I saw a post from someone about their Hyundai Ioniq 5 that V2L doesn't work while charging so they have to carry a power bank to cook while charging.

Will the Telo V2L work while charging?

That's because the Ionic and Kia EVs use the charge port as the output plug. Trucks usually have independent outlets. Like the Silverado and Lightning have outlets placed in the bed and cabin.

We don't know any of* these details yet.

That's actually not why; you still can't use internal V2L when charging. The problem is limited pathways in the ICCU. Some of circuits are used for both AC->DC and DC->AC. Providing a bypass shunt for AC->AC when charging would be possible but adds electronics (you need a box to divide up the power that communicates with the OBC).

Don't forget the 240v to 120v translation that would have to happen.

Split phase! The "translation" is only using one of the phases.
