I agree but I believe the label is wrong (line 2) should say DC\AC output as is converting DC back to AC for V2L I believe they used AC\DC as is bi-directional ?
It makes sense a DC to AC inverter will need up to 450v DC to Make 230v AC (the 230v to450v is just battery voltage at different states of charge)
The numbers below VMAX on my car ( see above ) read 211204.
I feel the fact that all the cars with broken V2L have the same number (11473414) and none of the working cars have this number strongly suggests that it is indeed this box (the CCU) that is the issue and that it is therefore hardware related.
So, do you reckon it’s a fault with those specific units?, or a deliberate act by MG to stop providing V2L on ZS’? If deliberate then informing customers waiting for cars to be built and shipped would seem like a reasonable request, in the same way info about them discontinuing the Pano roof filtered down. Expectation management! If I had been told that V2L was no longer available I would have cancelled the order and chosen a different car that provided it.
I don't know, and I don't particularly care. I'm considering this a defect that was present at delivery and which needs to be fixed under warranty. I was neither informed nor did I consent to a change in specs, so I will hold MG to the specs as they were when I ordered the car (a year ago).
Agreed!, I feel the same
Can you add a pic of the charge port so we can see the pins I suspect it's three phase
Here you go. Yes, we have the option of installing a single phase or 3 phase wall charger to charge the battery. Do you not have the option to charge from a3 phase home charger in the UK?
UK ZS are normal single phase most houses are single phase I believe new builds will be three phase
They definitely should be. Europe does this as standard and it helps a lot with the big ticket items like heat pumps, EVs etc.
I wonder it this means they will be dropping bi directional charging on all models in the future.
Thanks for the update.
If the update is correct, I don’t see how MG can expect their customers to accept this without complaint. These are £30K+ cars and the V2L capability was crucial to making the decision to spend our money with them for many of us. I have no issue rejecting my car if the dealers can’t make V2L work when it’s booked in under warranty to be looked at. Flipping cheek I say!
Give them another call now and ask them to check their dealer notifications from MG. Taking the car in is pointless as there's nothing they can do.
Below is what I've agreed with the vehicle supplier a week or so ago. I'll let the process run to comply with this agreement
Maybe they'll retro fit the V2L inverter (not).Below is what I've agreed with the vehicle supplier a week or so ago. I'll let the process run to comply with this agreement
"I am sorry to hear about the issues with the V2L function you are experiencing.
In first instance, we advise to contact your local MG retail and arrange a diagnostic and a repair as the dealership must have an opportunity to resolve the issue under the warranty.
Should the MG retailer fix the issue then its great news. However if the issue cannot be resolved and MG retailer confirms this in writing to you, then at that point you can approach XXXX with a request to reject your vehicle."
