Thanks for doing that test. Sounds like my system has an error (or I'm doing something wrong....). What were you powering with it?

I'm using V2L to power a coolbox (and other things including an air fryer) while camping (see my other recent thread). Generally working well, except that the V2L output cuts off every time a car door is opened. Getting it restarted means getting into the car (with the key in proximity)...

That sounds interesting, if a little pricey - and quite big? But does it solve the V2L / 12V supply switchover issue? HaHa! Normally I'd agree with you. But it's over 30 deg here in France and that's a bit warm for any beer. Thanks for all the other replies. I may be missing something but I...

I'm planning a camping trip with tent etc. I'd hoped to buy a simple 12V coolbox to plug into the car. But now find there's no 12V socket in the boot. I could buy an extension lead and plug it under the dash - but I assume that won't be powered while the car is switched off (e.g. overnight). So...

AFAIK the USB socket only works when the car is switched on. I wanted to charge the phone while I was sleeping in a tent overnight. also (more importantly!) I'll be wanting to use the V2L more in tey future for other things

Found it now. It was set at 50% for some reason. I only wanted to charge my phone, maybe 50 Wh or less than 0.1% of the car capacity!

Thanks, SoC is 30%, how do I find / change the limit? I can't find it in the manual

I am at a campsite trying to use the V2L cable. I tried it at home when a bought the car a few months ago and it was working fine. But now, when I use the button 'start discharging" the waiting timer twiddles for a few seconds and then I get a message 'discharge finished'. The car is in ready...

I tried 'Ready' as well as other modes. The battery percentage was showing on the dash. No modes appeared to turn on the heating.

Stopped today for 30 minutes while my other half went into Sainsbury's and I waited in the car. It was 6 degrees outside and I couldn't get the heater to work. Tried all controls - fan was running and temp control on max but only cold air. I even tried turning on the heating from the Android app...

Many of these screenshots show an analogue display of the speed etc. I just have weird graphic circles and a digital number. How do I switch to an analogue speed?

March looking good so far! 3 days, 3 return trips, total 88 miles, average speed 25mph, average temp 10C, averaged 4.7 miles/ kWh. Only managed 3.6 in December (my first month with the car). No data for Jan and Feb as I wasn't able to drive (hip op).

I've done a bit of reseach and it seems that an 11kW EVSE will only provide ~3.5 kW for a single-phase cable. Is that correct? If so I was ill-advised as to what cable to buy by the supplier.

The cable says '3G6 + 1 x 0.75' . It is a single-phase cable.

It was at 74% -
