    V2G Vehicle-to-Grid capability

    I use my MG Marvel battery to back up my home battery which is cost effective ? You just need a battery charger connected to the EV and then to your home battery.

    MG Marvel - Comfort v's Luxury finish

    Had a ZS for 2 years then upgraded to a Marvel Luxury. It's the best car I have ever owned/driven and I have had late model Jags, BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc. Comfort is same as Luxury except auto boot lift, heated and leather seats. Same size, motors, screen etc. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

    MG ZS EV not connecting to any charger

    You don't need to initiate the charging process via the dash software. The car should detect the charger and start the process automatically.

    MG ZS EV not connecting to any charger

    Of course. My previous ZS and my current Marvel both charge this way. If not, you would have to be sat around at a public charger whilst it charged. Turn it off completely, close the doors, plug in the charger and your dashboard will show the car is connected, then charging. Lock the car and...

    MG ZS EV not connecting to any charger

    Why are you turning the car "on" to charge ? Just turn it off then initiate the charge. No need to be on or in ready/standby mode for charging.

    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    That's what I did here. My GCH boiler draws a maximum 150w for the pump and display so I converted it to a mains plug and socket as opposed to having it hard wired into my main fuse board. I can now connect it to my off grid solar system in the event of a power failure - which we have...

    V2G Vehicle-to-Grid capability

    I paid €1584 (Euros) for 15kWh of batteries including battery box and all busbars etc delivered free from the EU. Chinese origin of course but they carry stocks in Poland rather than wait for the slow boat from China !! They are high quality EVE cells.

    MG4 powering other stuff (Vehicle to Load aka ‘V2L’)

    I did just that. I wired my GCH boiler to a plug rather than into the main fuse board so I could run the heating via my off grid solar system in the event of a power cut - which we have regularly here in rural France. The electric only really runs the pump and the main board and draws around...

    V2G

    There are no regulations when you are off grid !! I have a similar set up here in France as Bricktop X PWR. I use my MG Marvel battery to top up my home battery at night after it has been charged via solar during the day 👍

    Charging!!

    Never seen more than 70 kW ever on mine. I get that in Summer. After 80% the charge curve slows down on most EVs.

    Warning messages

    I agree with that last statement regardless of some of the negative comments regarding the Marvel. It's over engineered and the quality and finish is superb in my opinion. I am glad as I am hoping it's my last and forever car 🙏

    Solar battery and V2L

    It's simple. Just connect a suitable 48V battery charger to your V2L connection to your battery. Set the battery charger that suits the charging voltage for your battery. If you have charged your car via solar during the day it's an ideal solution to back up your home battery during the night...

    Connecting a V2L car to a house as a battery.

    That input range is for solar. Minimum 80v to maximum 500v. All hybrid or off grid (all in one) inverters have an AC (grid) input.

    Warning messages

    My Marvel R Luxury throws up warnings for fun like this. Unless they stay on permanently just ignore them as it's just over sensitive software. Enjoy the car. We love ours. I thought all Marvels had cameras ?

    Do I really need an 'proper' EV charger?

    I have a 7.2kW AIO inverter with 15kWh battery and 4kW of solar. It powers the house during the day and any excess goes to the car and/or house battery. At night I run off the house battery which is also drip fed via the car which is connected to a 48V battery charger. In France we don't really...

    Do I really need an 'proper' EV charger?

    Only ever used granny charging in my 4 years of EV ownership with no issues whatsoever. It's a "horses for courses" situation. If it works for your situation stick with it. I already have a bidirectional set up with solar inverter and battery with my MG Marvel which works fine.

    Mg marvel r luxury screen

    I would not say it is any faster than Android Auto. I mainly use mine for IPTV streaming for sports. I am happy with the standard Marvel mapping so I don't use it for that.
