Vehicle-to-load guide
Make your EV part of the camp setup.
A compatible Type 2 EV can do more than take you to the coast. With the right V2L connection, it can supply a practical power point for carefully planned low-load tasks at camp, on the road or away from a wall socket.

Keep a familiar power option close to the car.
V2L—vehicle-to-load—allows a compatible EV to provide power to external devices through an appropriate adapter. This Type 2 V2L Adapter is designed to pair a compatible Type 2 vehicle with an Australian-style outlet for considered use away from mains power.
It can suit small, practical tasks such as powering a laptop, lighting, a kettle, a coffee machine or an e-bike charger, provided the appliance and the vehicle both stay within their stated limits.
A deliberate routine
Park. Select. Connect. Check.
Check your vehicle.
Confirm your exact make, model, year and regional specification supports V2L through a compatible Type 2 interface.
Match the setting.
For this adapter, select C for BYD/NETA or M for MG, then confirm the stated green operation light.
Protect the route.
Seat the adapter correctly, connect a suitable appliance and keep leads clear of water, wheels and walkways.
Monitor the session.
Review the load and vehicle status before stepping away. Disconnect when the task is complete.
Blue-hour camp power
Build the evening around the car—not the campsite socket.
For a suitable vehicle at an approved campsite, V2L creates a simple way to power the small comforts of an overnight stop. Keep the use case modest and intentional: a lantern, a laptop, a coffee machine or other compatible appliances within the system limits.
Good setup matters more than extra gear. Plan the device load before connecting, keep the adapter and plug area protected, and run the cable where it will not become a trip or vehicle hazard.
- Set up a clear, dry cable route before connecting.
- Check appliance requirements against vehicle and adapter limits.
- Follow campsite rules and product instructions throughout use.
Compact by design
One small interface for changing plans.
The product page lists a 500 g adapter with dimensions of 7.5 × 7.5 × 22 cm. The supplied product material identifies an aluminium-alloy outer shell, designed for a compact, durable carry format in a vehicle kit.
Its stated operating range is -20°C to +60°C, with IP55 dust and water resistance. Those specifications support outdoor-minded use, but they do not replace safe positioning, dry connections, intact equipment and attention to local conditions.
Start with compatibility
Match the resistance profile, vehicle and selector.
The current product page lists compatible resistor options of 2K, 2.7K and 4K. These resistance profiles are part of the V2L handshake design, so use only the correct configuration for a confirmed compatible vehicle.
The product listing also gives the selector setting as C for BYD/NETA and M for MG. A green light is stated as the correct-operation confirmation.
The supplied compatibility chart adds examples of applicable and non-applicable vehicle families. Treat it as a starting point, not a substitute for confirming V2L availability, model year, regional version and correct resistance profile before connecting.

What do the 2K, 2.7K and 4K resistance options mean?
The product page lists 2K, 2.7K and 4K compatible resistor options. These are V2L handshake profiles used to match different vehicle requirements. Do not choose a setting by guesswork; confirm the correct resistance profile for your exact vehicle first.
What can I power?
The product page names laptops, kettles, coffee machines and e-bikes as example uses. Its stated output is up to 3.3 kW at 10–16 A. Check the appliance demand and your vehicle’s V2L limit before connecting.
How do I know the setting is correct?
Set C for BYD/NETA or M for MG as listed for this adapter. The product page states that a green light confirms correct operation.
Why choose this adapter?
The product page lists RCM and CE specifications plus a 2-year warranty period. The supplied product material identifies an aluminium-alloy outer shell. Review the current product page and instructions before purchase for the latest terms and coverage.
Can I use it outdoors?
The product page lists IP55 dust and water resistance and an operating range of -20°C to +60°C. Outdoor use still requires protected connections, intact equipment and a safe cable route.
Can it power an entire home?
This adapter is presented here for suitable individual appliances. It is not presented as a whole-home power solution. Follow the limits of the exact vehicle, adapter and connected equipment.
