MGS5 - V2L - AC or DC?

[farrells]

Hi All,

I am soon to take ownership of a new MGS5, comming from a MK2 ZS Long Range.
I currently have a SigenStor solar setup with 8kWh battery storage on the house.
I was looking at the battery & inverter system and found that the manufacturer also does a module that can be attached to the existing modular system to allow Bi-directional charging but it is in DC.

My question is, does the MGS5 V2L system only work on the V2L with an AC cable or would it still allow discharge with a DC plug as well?

The Module that I could get comes with a 7.5m DC cable (in the shape of a CCD DC Connection that plugs into the CCS CD Connection on the Car), it allows up to 25kW DC charging to the car, but I'm more interested in discharging the car back to the battery pack and powering the house. If the plug is DC but the Car only allows for AC V2L would it still allow discharge through the DC cable but only use the Type2 or AC section of the DC plug?? My gut says No but maybe I'm wrong.

Would anybody have any experience of this?

Many Thanks in advance.

As far as I'm aware the S5 will only power AC devices via a "special" adapter, and power devices fitted with a 13 amp plug. It cannot be connected to any system that has AC already at the outlet i.e. you can't connect it to power your home as the AC outlet from the car will not be synchronised with the home AC power system i.e. the grid.

If you are using V2L, that takes up most of the Combined Charging System socket. There will be no room to simultaneously plug in something that does DC charging or discharging.

My apologies if I've misunderstood your question.

I've tried to buy a CCS2 AC and DC plug, they are either insanely priced, or the order is almost immediately refunded because they were scamming and the agency (like Temu) caught them or realised they actually couldn't get one to resell .....

Whether it is possible to scan a CCS 2 DC fast charger plug and have it 3D printed, possible I guess, but you need to get hold of one first to dismantle it .....

Sorry, just to clarify and update, the DC module on the battery storage system would be via a CCS connection on the battery storage system that plugs into the CCS on the Car. I've updated the original post as well to reflect this. Thanks.

There is no DC to DC plugs available for the CCS2 system as far as I know, all the V2L plugs I've seen are the top AC section.
If you find or know of a CCS2 plug with the DC section as well, please let us know on this forum and preferably in this thread .....
