Tikz-Pgf – How to Shift Voltage Label Down in Circuitikz

Question

How can I move $V_L$ down? I checked previous posts but none of them work. Probably I missed something
1.v^=\raisebox{-10ex}{$V_L$} doesn't seem to work with negative number.
2.voltage shift = -1 this does shift $V_L$ but it also shifts the plus and minus signs which is not desired.
3. I think just remove all the voltage + plus/minus signs together and then manually place them but that seems too much work for a beginner like me.

Is there a simple way to just shift $V_L$ down?

\documentclass[tikz, border=1cm]{standalone}
\usepackage[american, siunitx]{circuitikz}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}

\draw (0,0) to [cute inductor, v^=$V_L$] ++(3,0);

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

\documentclass[tikz, border=1cm]{standalone}
\usepackage[american, siunitx]{circuitikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) to[cute inductor, v^=$V_L$] ++(3,0);
\draw (0,-2) to[cute inductor, v^=$V_L$, voltage/american label distance=0.8pt] ++(3,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
