Towing & Off-Grid V2L Performance:

  1. Towing 2,400 kg Off-Road Caravan: Instant electric torque from the dual motors makes pulling out onto highway merges effortless. Using Tow Mode + 60% SOC Hold, fuel consumption settled at 13.2 L/100km at 95–100 km/h.
  2. Unladen Daily Driving: Running pure EV for the first 85 km of daily trade work drops our weekday petrol usage to 0.0 L/100km.
  3. Three 240V Tub Outlets + Cabin V2L (6 kW Total): Ran our caravan rooftop aircon, Engel fridge, induction hob, and 18V tool chargers simultaneously without a generator!

Tested these exact settings on my weekend highway run and cabin NVH + efficiency were spot on.

Zero rattles in the cabin so far, and the 360-degree camera clarity at night is still the best in its price bracket.

The build quality and LFP thermal consistency on long climbs have exceeded expectations so far.

I found that plugging in around 15–18% SOC gives the fastest sustained peak kW before the BMS gently tapers above 80%.

Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.

If anyone is on the fence, definitely take a 45-minute test drive on coarse-chip highway tarmac first — the acoustic glass makes a bigger difference than the spec sheet suggests.

One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.
