I Use Electroverse as it covers most chargers. Just did a 3000km round trip to the UK and no problems at all.

Just done a return trip back to the UK from my home in France. Almost 3000km in 8 days and it was plain sailing. No charging issues (except the cost in the UK ! ), super comfortable drive etc. 300km inbetween stops which is more than enough without a break. I likewise would never entertain an...

It's just a reminder to take a coffee break after driving a certain distance/time. I have it on my Marvel after around 3 hours driving.

My MG Marvel has a 2 speed gearbox 😂😂😂

You may want to remove the word "healthy" from that post ???

That's a Cyberster image not a Marvel. You can't "select" the second gear. When you floor it you feel it change gear around 100kph. It's surreal for an EV and the surge is addictive.

My MG Marvel motor spins to 9k with a 2 speed gearbox !

Not true. My MG Marvel has a two speed gearbox and would not class it as a high speed model !

Many thanks again. It seems clearer to me now. So you plug your V2L directly into your old inverter on the AC "in" and the inverter takes care of the battery charging ? My set up is different and I have my inverter feeding the house via SBU (solar, battery, utility) but my 5kWh battery...

Thanks for the detailed reply but I was trying to determine how you connect your V2L lead from the car to your home battery. I assume it's via a battery charger ? If so, which one do you use ? Thanks again.

Which battery charger do you use in between your V2L connection and your home battery ?

My (and all others) MG Marvel R has two speed transmission. Kicks in at around 100kph when you floor it . It's quite surreal and extremely satisfying to feel it surge when it clicks into this overdrive gear.

That's a monster charger !! I only have a 5kWh battery that I want to feed overnight from the car as sometimes it does not see me through the night ?

Apologies if I did not word that correctly. It's not the V2L cable that I am after it's how you connect the V2L to your batteries ? I presume you connect to a 240v battery charger ? If so, which one are you using ? Thanks for the reply.

I presume you connect the car to a battery charger then to your batteries ? Which charger do you use if you don't mind me asking ?

Yes, that's balancing and it will eventually stop charging once balanced. Mine always shows 100% before it's actually finished charging and balancing.

I changed my mains feed to my boiler to a standard plug here in France and it works no problem. The boiler only draws around 100 W for the pump as it's a gas combi. Used my V2L adaptor for it a few times during power cuts with zero issues. Buy a battery charger and plug it into your V2L lead...

Hi John. Can I ask where you got your 3kw V2L lead ?

The GOM is not a good way of calculating your battery SOH as it's based on your driving habits. You need an ODB reader to get your actual SOH.

No, those are just infotainment updates. You need to visit your dealer for software updates. R24 is the latest.
