Here's Alex from Technology Connections testing powering things in his house from his Hyundai Ioniq 5.

I live in an area prone to high winds and we occasionally have pre-planned power shutdowns (I think PSPS is the term).

My Ioniq 5 has been a godsend. No, it can't power the house without dorking around with my electrical panel. But we can run the fridge, dishwasher, a few standing lights and keep phones and computers full charged.

I used a similar setup to Alex's but with the outlet in the rear seat instead of the V2X connector. I will probably by the V2X connector since it supposedly hanldles higher power draw.
