Tata Curvv.EV Owner Uses V2L Feature To Cook Maggi Noodles During Road Trip

Tata Curvv.ev is currently the flagship electric SUV from Tata Motors in the Indian market. The eSUV was a much-awaited model from the manufacturer because of its unique coupe-like design and features. Along with many premium features, Tata is also offering V2L. Many customers have found this feature useful, and here we have a video shared with us by the owner of a Curvv.ev, where he is seen cooking noodles using his Curvv.ev during his road trip.

The video was shared with us by one of our followers, Rakesh Kaswan. In this video, the owner is on a road trip to Uttarakhand in his Tata Curvv.ev. He took a stop at Tehri Lake and decided to cook food. In the case of a regular vehicle, one would have to think of carrying a separate source of energy like a stove or gas top to cook food, but with EVs, it is actually simple.

The Curvv.ev comes with the V2L or Vehicle-To-Load feature. This is a feature in most modern electric cars that lets the vehicle’s battery power external devices. If you have the correct adapter, you can power several electronic devices like televisions, induction cooktops, coffee machines, and so on.

In this case, the owner decided to power the induction cooker to make noodles. Usually, during road trips, people rely on roadside restaurants and hotels for food. However, with an EV, this issue is resolved. One doesn’t have to carry butane gas cans and camping stoves for such road trips.

It is actually a good thing that people have started utilising this feature. Many are concerned about the battery charge dropping when they use this feature, but it should be noted that it doesn’t draw too much power and won’t make much of a difference either.

This is not the first time we have come across a video like this on the internet. Earlier this year, we even had a video where a Curvv.ev owner made tea using an electric kettle while stuck in a traffic jam due to heavy snowfall in the mountains. The same owner also posted a video of him frying pooris using the V2L feature in his Curvv.ev.

The Curvv.ev is available in two variants. There is a 45 kWh and a 55 kWh battery pack variant on offer.

It looks like the EV seen in the video is the larger battery version. The EV comes in five variants: Creative, Accomplished, Accomplished+, Empowered, and Empowered+.

The 45 kWh battery pack variant has a claimed driving range of 502 km on a single charge, while the 55 kWh variant has a claimed range of 585 km. The 45 kWh version generates 148 Bhp and 215 Nm of peak torque, while the larger battery variant generates 165 Bhp and 215 Nm of peak torque.

The price for a brand-new Curvv.ev starts at Rs 17.49 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to Rs 21.99 lakh (ex-showroom). 2025 is going to be an exciting year for Tata as they are expected to launch more EVs like the Harrier.ev, Safari.ev, and also the Sierra. These upcoming EVs will only help Tata strengthen their position in the EV segment.
