WETOX has earned the first Next-Gen V2X certification from SGS for its D2 power adapter, a device that retrofits millions of existing electric vehicles with vehicle-to-load capability. The D2 enables owners of Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y cars, plus Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles, to draw power from their battery packs to run tools, lights, camping equipment, and home appliances during power outages.
V2L functionality has emerged as a top-tier EV feature for buyers, but the majority of Tesla and Mustang Mach-E units already in circulation lack native support. WETOX addresses this gap with an aftermarket solution that converts these vehicles into mobile power stations without requiring hardware modifications to the car itself.
The SGS Next-Gen V2X certification validates the D2's safety and performance standards, marking a regulatory milestone for third-party V2L adapters in North America. This approval removes a major barrier to widespread adoption, as owners gain confidence in the device's reliability and compliance with international standards.
The timing proves strategic. As extreme weather events and grid instability drive consumer demand for backup power solutions, millions of owners with earlier EV models now have a practical path to unlock this capability. Tesla vehicles especially represent a massive installed base, and enabling V2L retrofitting captures revenue from customers who bought before the feature shipped as standard.
Ford's Mustang Mach-E inclusion broadens WETOX's addressable market beyond Tesla loyalists. The company positions the D2 as a universal retrofit platform rather than a brand-specific product, though Tesla's dominance in the EV space makes those owners the primary target.
Industry observers note that aftermarket V2L solutions like the D2 could reshape buyer behavior. Used EV shoppers might accept older model years if retrofit
