The Marvel R is based on the SAIC Group Roewe brand Roewe Marvel R. Neither Roewe nor MG Marvel R is available in RHD we will probably have to wait for a model refresh.

Great review John, thanks for sharing. My HS PHEV has a 0-60 of 6.9 seconds but struggles to put the power down. I tend to start off slowly initially to avoid wheel spin and let the other guy get a nose ahead then … I am looking forward to trying 4 wheel drive.

Use the grid as your virtual battery makes a lot of sense. Here in Thailand there are too many restrictions - which inverter you can use; who the installer is; Solar cannot be over 5kW for single phase and upto10kW for three phase and then they only give 50% credit!

Is this connection to the Marvel R? Have you lost connection or are you trying to connect for the first time? For me the dealer said they had to setup connection for the first time. There was a recent update on the iSmart App my connection to my car worked fine before and after the update.

Looking forward to hearing your about your experiences. Will you be upgrading your home charger to 11kW? https://news.mgmotor.eu/why-mgs-11-kw-on-board-charger-makes-life-easier

I have 4 inverters already (all costing north of 1,000 pounds) and a fifth would not add any more storage. I could add another 9kWh battery for 2,000 pounds but 9kWh is a lot less than 70kWh. I am never going to need an extra 70kWh to power my house but I may need more than 9kWh.

This is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV - my idea of a car that can charge your picnic - in fact it is even advertised as such. With the Marvel R you can lock your car up and don't even need to switch it on.

Maybe it's easier to understand my thinking if I explain my solar system. I have 20kW of PV; 4 inverters; 27kWh of Lithium and 38.4kWh of deep cycle gel. The house runs on PV when available, excess is put into the house batteries, then into the car. At night the house runs on Lithium, until 22%...

Asked my dealer last week - nobody had even heard of it apart from the dealership owner and they didn't know if or when it was coming. Thailand is RHD like the UK and there is no RHD version of the Marvel R yet.

My house is super insulated and uses less than 1kW even with aircon running (except when charging the car in the middle of the day (solar production is not shown in the graphs below as it would mess with the scale) The inverters can be set to draw for the grid or a generator or a Marvel R...

V2L (Vehicle to Load ) is the most exciting thing about the new Marvel R for me. I expect that I will probably be alone in this so let me explain. Once you have an EV it makes a lot of sense to make your own fuel at home from Solar. I have solar and batteries, I make all my power for my car and...
