Anyone actually using the EV6 V2L for a proper rugby tailgate, mun?

Right mun, Ceri here. Picked up the EV6 from the Bay dealership last month and it's absolutely tidy. But I'm scratching my head about this V2L boot plug. Me and the boys head up to Pontypridd RFC every Saturday, and I thought I’d be a legend and plug in the gazebo heaters and a kettle. Has anyone actually got the right adapter for this? The official Kia one is pricey, and the cheap ones on Amazon look like they’ll melt. Also, does it drain the 12v or the main traction battery? Don't want to be stranded in the valleys after the match! Cheers.

Aye, V2L for a tailgate sounds dead handy, Ceri, but my Polestar 2 doesn't do that. Still, I’ve powered a camping kettle off a 13A socket after a long Highland drive. Nothing beats a dram of whisky by the car after navigating the M25! To be fair, English drivers are so useless at roundabouts I’d need V2L just to power a megaphone to shout at them. Popped into a Gridserve on the way back from Edinburgh, charging on the Octopus Intelligent tariff. Pure class.
