Each suite gets its own Hyundai Ioniq 5 to plug into for power – a move that highlights the hatchback/crossover’s impressive battery capacityEach of the guest suites has its Ioniq 5 that powers everything from the lights to the appliances.
The restaurant/bar area gets its own Hyundai, and continues the sustainability theme with a locally-grown food and drinks menu; even the espresso machine is powered by the Ioniq! The movie area gets a film projector, outdoor speakers, and a popcorn machine all powered by the Ioniq 5, thanks to its V2x capability.
More and more EVs are coming equipped with either V2L or V2G capability. This allows EVs to act as a rolling generator when there’s no power from the grid to power appliances or accessories, and as a battery backup for the grid itself.
