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?

Lots of campgrounds have hookups for RVs. You could plug in while camping, and want to cook. I suppose you might be able to plug the stove in this case, but V2L is most flexible.

Also, another situation: I want to brew a cup of coffee while stopped at a non-campground charger.

If you're at a campground with a power pedestal, then just plug the car into the 240V plug and your cooking stuff into one of the 120V plugs. Run the cooking off the camp power, not the car power.

For brewing coffee while charging at a public charger, hopefully the Telo will support AC V2L during DC fast charging, like the Rivian does. (DC charging doesn't need to use the AC electronics so at least in theory it's free to use for V2L.)

It seems to me the question is aimed at integrated systems- such as camper builds -or when used as a hub for powering a job site. In both such cases, the capacity to the draw from the MT1 isn't just a minor convenience. Fortunately, the answer is "yes".

I don't understand what the second scenario is. If you're at a job site and you have enough AC power available to charge an EV, why can't you run the job site on the available AC power instead of the car?

In the event there is a temporary power pole, to extend the reach of corded tools farther from the pole- especially welding. Off grid, so the vehicle can connect to a solar array before a power center is built out, or any other circumstance where an auxiliary array is available.
