I wired my combi boiler to a regular plug as it only draws around 150w. It was originally wired direct to my consumer unit. When we have power cuts, as we often do here in rural France, I can still get heating and hot water via my V2L extension cable plugged into my MG Marvel. I don't see any...

I have two Worx robot mowers that cover a 3000 sq metre garden. I even run them at night. Just sit back and watch them. All my tools are Worx and naturally interchangeable with the battery system. Too old to push mowers around 👍

I also charge via solar with a granny charger. It has variable output which you control via an App. When my production is low in the morning and evening I set it to 6a or maybe 8a. During peak production I ramp it up to max 13a. I also have have a 15kwh battery that takes up the slack when...

MG to MG works fine and I also charged a Tesla with my MG Marvel.

If you bought the car from a Portuguese dealer ask them ?

They all do that 😭😭

Same here but in our Marvel. Switzerland via South of France and Italy. 2700kn in 6 days. Car was like driving a magic carpet. Charging locations in Switzerland were better than a Lidl car park 😂😂

R24 here as well but going in for 3rd service next month so will report back.

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.

Maybe here ?

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.

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

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...

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.

Volvo is Chinese owned 😭😭
