V2L cable

[SKA]

Hi all. I searched up here and online and the only place really that sell such a cable is evcable website. But that is still at a whopping £150 for a 5 m cable single gang. Is there anywhere that does one that is a bit more price friendly ? I have to do quite a few camping trips to make the money's worth. ?

There's another thread on here with guys discussing making there own V2L leads.

Vehicle to Load (V2L) - Any Information or First Hand Experiences?

Does anyone know how to get hold of a Vehicle 2 Load (V2L) lead to use with the 2022 MG ZS EV Long Range? I am waiting on a response from MG UK but there doesn't seem to be much information available other than the fact the specification states the car has a Vehicle to Load capability at a...

I will probably have to change the resistor when it arrives.

Hmmm. The linked web site calls all the type 2 looking options "GBT", which is the Chinese EV standard. As far as I know, it's the same as European/IEC type 2 except for the gender of the plugs and sockets, so it likely is compatible, but maybe there is some weird mirror image problem.

Then again, GB/T is supposed to have a weird 6-sided hole around the earth pin, and I don't see that. So maybe they're using the term "GB/T" when they mean "type 2".

Please let us know how it goes (or not).

Let us know how you get on... If we don't hear from you we will assume that the connector caused the car to explode

I have tried 3 different types now. All seem to work fine, though I did need to change the wiring/resistor on one of them. There is a thread on here somewhere about it - it looks a bit like one @Gadget Geek mentioned.

There's also a Youtube video about converting a granny cable. I'll take some photos of the unit when I get it and open it up.

One spanner in the works is that I haven't got the car yet.

Thanks all. I went thru a lot of info and some YouTube video and yes can be self made with a resistor. Just that I am not good with electronics and certainly poor in soldering, I guess I will just have to pay the odds for the peace of mind ,?
