You're introducing irrelevant info to the question of whether the MG's V2L is going to overload whatever you plug into it. The V2L will only supply the load placed upon it. It can't "push" more current than the appliance plugged in will consume. If the appliance or load demands more power than...

Exactly, and individual circuits have fuses/circuit breakers as well. But the point remains, just because an inverter can supply X kW doesn't mean it will. It will only supply power to meet the load placed on the circuit (up to the inverter's capacity limit).

Nope.

A supply only supplies what the load draws. My 15 kW home is connected to a grid capable of supplying hundreds of kW of power. My home doesn't catch fire or blow up.

My MG4 with an NMC 64 kWh battery will do an equalisation no matter the upper SOC setting used. e.g. If I set the battery to charge only to 70%, it will end the charge session with a typical short period of equalisation. You can do that with NMC cells. Not the case with LiFePO4 which definitely...

This is the MG4 ChatGPT Tech assist answer to the question: What is the V2L spec of the MG4?

These are questions for MG to answer. All I can do is report what it's actually capable of. It's not like they undersell the other capabilities such as charging rates. They don't provide a spec at all for V2L. Remember it's the V2L adapter that sets the rate limit, not the car's on board...

2-12 minutes is pretty normal. If it's been a long time between equalisation charges then it can take an hour or more.

When I arrive home I get out of the car, open the charge port, plug in and lock the car. That's it. My charge station looks after the rest and is set to start charging based on settings, either to charge from excess solar PV or during free grid energy period.

Cooling and phase changes have dramatically different levels of energy transfer. It takes way more energy transfer to freeze water than it does to cool water temperature down. e.g. dropping water temperature by 8°C is only 1/10th of the energy transfer required to change state from liquid at...

Range estimates are based on recent driving. If your recent driving has been city/suburban, then that's what it is basing the range estimate on. As you start doing highway speeds then it's accumulating km at a new economy rate and adjusting the range estimate accordingly.

They are confusing BMS recalibration and state of health check with equalisation. A battery BMS recalibration/health check requires the occasional deep discharge followed by a full slow (i.e. AC) charge. Equalisation just needs charging to 100%, the SOC it starts from isn't relevant.

The car's on-board inverter is capable of triple that output. MG do not supply a rating for the V2L, it is not listed in their specifications. How much it will actually supply is a function of the V2L adapter used (which tells the car what upper power limit to use) and the load applied.

I guess it depends if they are charging for it or not. One way to drum up some business.

Essence 64 & 77 LR use the same 18" wheels (tyre size 235/45 R18) Excite models 51 & 64 use 17" wheels.

Not really. For further clarification, that's just the fee DNSP (Essential Energy) levies on the retailer per kWh during peak - that's only a network access cost, not the wholesale energy cost. This is the cost of the poles and wires (and yes there is also a fixed daily charge for that was...

Just to clarify, the three-rate TOU tariff still exists and will continue to apply for anyone (like you) who is still on it. If you look at that link I posted earlier, the second page shows the obsolete tariffs still in play. An "obsolete" Essential Energy tariff doesn't mean it no longer...

Yeah - I'm on the solar soaker tariff structure, there's no shoulder tariff. You are still on the now obsolete three rate TOU. It will eventually be retired. https://www.essentialenergy.com.au/-/media/Project/EssentialEnergy/Website/Files/Our-Network/PriceListAndExplanatoryNotes2025-26.pdf...

With the 1 July electricity price rises, I've changed plan back to the Powershop EV Day plan. These are our new rates: Our home battery gets installed tomorrow, so I don't expect to import much energy outside of the free energy period each day. The daily supply fee is pretty ordinary, but...

Forum oddity perhaps. This is what I see:
