In at least one embodiment, an apparatus comprising a vehicle inverter is provided. The vehicle inverter is programmed to invert a direct current (DC) input into a maximum alternating current (AC) output to power at least one external load and to receive first information indicative of whether a vehicle is in one of a drive mode and a park mode. The vehicle inverter is further programmed to provide the maximum AC output to the power the at least one external load in response to the information indicating that the vehicle is in the park mode and to invert the DC input into a first AC output that is less than the maximum AC output to power the at least one external load in response to the information indicating that the vehicle is in the drive mode.
