Petri baked 16 pizzas with an electric car โ€“ this is how it affected the battery

A Finnish man demonstrated the vehicle-to-load system of an electric car by baking 16 pizzas in a field, analyzing the battery's performance during the process.

In a unique demonstration of electric vehicle capabilities, Espoo resident Petri Luostarinen baked 16 pizzas using the battery power from his electric car over the span of four hours. The event took place in Hรคmeenlinna during a presentation for the Korean automaker Hyundai, where the vehicle-to-load (V2L) system was showcased. This technology allows users to draw power from the electric vehicle to run other appliances, in this case, a pizza oven. Luostarinen noted that baking each pizza took about 60 seconds, but also mentioned that gas would typically be a more efficient option for this type of cooking. Over the four-hour period, he observed a 12% battery drain from his electric car while maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle, necessary for allowing the pizza dough to rise before baking. He had prepared the dough three days prior to the cooking event, illustrating a blend of culinary preparation and technology. The demonstration not only highlighted the practicality of electric vehicles but also served to promote the innovative features of Hyundai's models. By utilizing the V2L system, Luostarinen showed how electric vehicles could support everyday activities beyond transportation, emphasizing the evolving role of electric cars in modern life. This event reflects a growing interest in the capabilities of electric vehicles as they become increasingly integrated into various aspects of daily living in Finland and beyond.
