This is the Arctic reindeer farm that works with electric cars

Hyundai’s Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) two-way charging technology created a special experience in Northern Norway by serving as the only source of energy

In the remote and icy wilderness of
the suburbs of Tromsø (Norway), Hyundai Motor showed how its innovative V2L two-way charging technology can create unique experiences. The company demonstrated the diversity of V2L applications in an off-grid part of the world, furthering its transition to a provider of smart and clean mobility solutions.

With the ability to serve as
portable power source Around the world, Hyundai supplied power to the remote Tromsø Arctic Reindeer farm for three days and supplied power to an off-grid hut for a cozy dinner, simply using the V2L function of IONIQ 5.

Northern Norway, within the
arctic circle, it was the perfect place to put the capabilities of Hyundai’s V2L technology to the test. With difficulties such as limited access to a reliable and clean source of energy and adverse weather conditions, this remote location could benefit greatly from this alternative and sustainable energy solution.

V2L technology allows residents in remote areas to power and charge their electronic devices without generating emissions. Also, temperatures in Northern Norway are often below 0 °C. However, electric charging via the V2L protocol is not affected by cold weather and shows that
electric vehicles can do more what to bring to work Even in parts of the world without a grid connection, V2L technology can enable a modern, electrified lifestyle. This shows that off-grid locations around the world can meet their energy needs with this alternative solution. Hyundai continues to fulfill its brand mission of “Progress for Humanity” by developing technologies that contribute to a more sustainable society.

The V2L system describes
a two-way transfer of energy, where energy stored in the battery of an electric vehicle is transferred to an electrical device. To provide this feature, the EV software must support a built-in inverter that converts direct current (DC) from the battery to alternating current (AC).

Hyundai models based on
the electric global modular platform Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform), such as IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6, comes standard with this V2L feature. The deck-mounted Integrated Charge Control Unit (ICCU) allows electricity to flow in two directions, both to and from the vehicle’s battery.

E-GMP based Hyundai EVs can use and charge other electrical devices (110/220V) and act as a four-wheeled power bank.
For example, the IONIQ 5 has a 220 volt V2L socket is under the back seat. An additional external charging point, requiring a specific Hyundai adapter and standard on certain versions capable of delivering up to 3.6 kW of power. For example, IONIQ 5 can power the reindeer farm for 1 day.

The climate crisis we are experiencing is becoming increasingly urgent and its effects are being felt daily. Hyundai has a maxim of contributing to a future in harmony with the environment through sustainable mobility products and pollution-free progress.

With its business philosophy
Progress for humanity Always on the horizon, Hyundai has a clear sustainability roadmap with two key dates: 2035, when all vehicles marketed in Europe will be zero-emissions, and 2045, when the company will become carbon neutral in all markets. This vision includes a commitment to reduce CO2 emissions to 75% below 2019 figures by 2040.

Hyundai’s strategy to decarbonise its range is based on three pillars: clean mobility, next-generation platforms and green energy. On this last point, that aims
reduce dependence on fossil fuels Hydrogen is very polluting and will play a key role. Hyundai has more than 20 years of experience in the development and application of this technology in the mobility sector and it is precisely because of its leadership in this field that it is preparing to fully immerse itself in this source of clean and sustainable energy and advocates the use of hydrogen not only in the automotive sector, but also in other sectors, to promote the “Hydrogen Society” and hope that this energy is available “for everyone, for everything and everywhere”.
