Use Vehicle-to-Load (V2L)

Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) lets the Mazda 6e act as a large mobile power bank, running household appliances and tools from the traction battery through an adapter that plugs into the charge port. Every 6e supports it, delivering ordinary AC power – around 3.3 kW on the European specification – and the car stops discharging automatically before the battery gets too low.

What you need

You need the Mazda V2L discharge adapter, which plugs into the car’s charge inlet and provides a normal AC socket for your device. Use it in a well-ventilated space, never in a closed garage, and keep the adapter and sockets dry.

How to use V2L on the Mazda 6e

1. Park in a well-ventilated place, switch the vehicle on and put the shifter in P (Park).
2. Open the charge-port flap (press the marked spot on the flap with the car unlocked).
3. Plug the V2L discharge adapter into the vehicle’s charge inlet.
4. Turn on V2L using the External discharge (“Externe ontlading”) switch on the center display.
5. Set the minimum battery percentage you are willing to drain to, also on the center display, so V2L stops at that level and leaves you enough range to drive.
6. Plug your appliance into the adapter’s socket. When you are finished, switch External discharge off, then press the unlock button on the key fob to release the adapter before removing it.

The display shows the connected state, your remaining range and the current battery level while V2L is running. If the battery falls to your set limit, the car ends the session on its own to protect your range.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Mazda 6e have V2L?

Yes. Vehicle-to-Load is standard on both the Standard Range and Long Range, using an adapter that plugs into the charge port and supplies regular AC power (about 3.3 kW on the European spec).

Can I set how much battery V2L is allowed to use?

Yes. In the V2L screen you can set a minimum battery percentage; the car stops discharging once it reaches that level so you are never left without enough range to drive.

Why won’t the V2L adapter come out?

The adapter is locked in place like a charge connector. Switch External discharge off first, then press the unlock button on the key fob to release it.
