Yes that's the official one. I got one and it works. Though with a ZS EV you have to keep the car switched on (in ready mode despite what the manual says) for it to work (discharge). With the MG4 (and possibly the new MG5) the car does not have to be switched on (ready mode). When I tested it using a meile vacuum to clean up the carpet in the car, it works for a bit if you switch it off. I tested the vacuum with it in ready mode. Then turned off the vacuum. Them turned off ready mode. Then switched the vacuum on. It worked when I did it straight away. When I switched the vacuum off and tried again after ten minutes, it would not work. I have not tried keeping on something permanently for 10 minutes usin eg a small lamp to see if it switches off. From some comments I have read regarding the MG4 it does not switch off.
What is the Miele cleaner rated at ?.
Is it close to the 2.2 Max discharge ratting suggested by MG when using the V2L cable ?.
Some of the more powerful ( older type ) vacuums are rated close to this limit.
I have a V2L cable made by EVcables.co.uk
This cable was one of the first professionally built cables built and made available to the public.
It was designed made and tested in conjunction with one of the first customers of the MG ZS EV Gen 2 facelift model, when first released to the market in 2022.
Here is some of the facts and figures of their lead taken from their web site.
A SIMPLE ADAPTER POWER SOURCE (MG ONLY)
Turn your MG ZS (2022), MG 5 (Facelifted 2023), MG4 (2022) and MG Marvel R into a mobile power source for home appliances with our (V2L) Vehicle to Load (sometimes known as Vehicle to Device (V2D)) EV cables.
Simply plug into your Type 2 charge port and select the discharge option on your cars infotainment system display
Connect up to 2.5kW of load (Depending on car model)
Power camping equipment in the wilderness!
Vehicle to load cables should not be connected to any other electrical system as there is no voltage or phase synchronisation. Failing to adhere to this will void your vehicle warranty and has the potential to cause serious damage to both the connected system and your vehicle
- * What is IP44 Rating?
- The IP44 (Ingress Protection Rating) means our cables will operate in dusty conditions, and will resist splashes of water while mated. However, the charging process is not fully water sealed and the cables should not be submerged in water or operated in the rain.
Cable Information
16A 3G2.5mm2+2*0.5mm2 EV Wire (AC) / 15mm Diameter
Charging Cable Safety
- The cable should be kept out of puddles but can be kept outside.
- Please remember to use the rubber cover to keep moisture from the connector when not in use. The vehicle will not charge if it senses moisture.
- Moisture is the most common issue experienced and will lead to corrosion of the pins which are not covered by our warranty.
Why can't we charge in the rain?
Water can still get into the plug and charging socket during the inserting and removing of the plug from the car. In fact, as soon as you open the charge port or unplug your car, the rain will get onto the pins and stay there until the next time you charge
