MG4 V2L Test Australia
A test of the MG Australia's vehicle to load adapter with my MG4 (Essence 64). Our electrical supply standard is 230 V AC. This V2L cable is rated at 250 V / 15A although the socket is only suitable for connecting standard 10A Australian plugs.

A quick video to graphically demonstrate the effect on the Performance Manager Chart of changing the default time constants.
Interesting!
You can build your own V2L cable that will let you pull 6.6kw
Yes I am aware of that. Provided you are OK to butcher a type 2 connector, solder in the right resistor, ensure you use AC cabling of the correct load rating and are happy to use a non-compliant bit of kit with your car. Since we already have an off-grid home battery system with an 8 kW inverter, I have no need for that. This way the car's V2L can happily supply a trickle of 1-1.5 kW to the home battery using existing readily available and compliant equipment.
I wonder if it could be done with solar edge home battery?
I've no idea. But in general proprietary grid-tied battery systems operate at higher voltages and would probably require a proprietary charger, if one could be connected at all. You'd need to consult Solaredge on what options exist for off-grid charging.
Thank you
What type of home battery do you have?
I have a hybrid off-grid set up. 15 kWh of LiFePO4 batteries (server rack style) + 20 kWh of data centre sealed lead acid as backup reserve.
Good video Alex. I note your battery level was at 79%. I have an Excite 51. The other day after arriving home with 19% battery the house power went off. I decided to test the V2L. No luck, the battery capacity had to be greater than 50%. Has anyone been able to adjust the minimum percentage of charge the V2L will work at?
The minimum should be settable to 20%. At least that's what it is with my Essence 64 model. Check the discharge screen on the display in the car. You should see a slider control for minimum discharge level. I'm about to upload another video about the V2L, this time using it to charge our home battery (an off-grid system).
What was this for?
