V2L-MG Vehicle-to-Load Adapter
for MG electric vehicles with V2L support
USER MANUAL
Introduction
The Metron V2L-MG adapter is designed to power various standard 230 Vac electrical devices, such as power tools, cookers, ovens, refrigerators, lights, computers, and to charge electric bicycles/scooters/etc., using the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system found in MG electric vehicles. When used with a Metron portable EV charger, it can also charge other electric cars from your MG vehicle. MG electric vehicles typically deliver up to 2.5 kW, with some models offering up to 3.7 kW. The Metron V2L-MG adapter supports power delivery from 2.5 kW (Type G socket) to 3.7 kW (Type F/E socket). Any other use is considered improper use.
Before using the adapter, please read this manual thoroughly and follow the provided instructions. Keep the manual for future reference. If you are unsure about proper usage, contact the manufacturer or your dealer.

Socket outlet overtemperature protection function description:
The V2L-MG adapter features a high-quality socket built-in that prevents overheating at continuous current of 16 A (13 A for Type G). If a poor-quality plug is inserted, it can dissipate significant heat. The adapter's temperature sensor detects this heat. If the temperature exceeds the allowed range, the adapter signals the car to disconnect power. Once cooled down, the adapter automatically signals the car that power can be re-applied, requiring the user to press "Start" on the display again. This process can repeat.
The adapter is IP rated 44, meaning it is waterproof during usage. Nevertheless, avoid getting plugs wet and do not use the adapter if plugs are wet.
- ⚠ Never draw more than 16 A from the V2L-MG adapter.
- ⚠ Do not use if plugs / sockets are wet.
Cleaning & Storage
Use only a dry or damp cloth for cleaning the unplugged adapter. Do not use cleaning detergents. Secure the adapter while transporting it in your vehicle to avoid damage. Store in a dry place.
- ⚠ The adapter must be completely unplugged before cleaning.
- Avoid water getting to contact parts.
- Secure adapter while transporting.
