NCC Trained · Victron Dealer
The UK's first electrical system for the Kia PV5. A pre-wired power board built for the electric campervan era: it draws power from the PV5's V2L port, your mains hook-up and a buffer battery — no split charge required.
The pre-wired board, the matching looms and the battery-to-board adaptor cable. Each listing carries its live price and current availability.

1
Your traction battery becomes your leisure power supply. Connect the PV5's V2L output and the board converts it to clean 12V DC and 240V AC for your conversion — drawing from the biggest battery your van already carries.
2
Connect to site power at a campsite and the board runs exactly like a conventional conversion: powering your system and charging the buffer battery.

Usually a 100Ah lithium, this carries the system when V2L isn't running and there's no hook-up. Fridge, lights and devices stay on overnight without touching your driving range — and without leaving the van in camping mode while you're out on a hike.
Every conventional campervan electrical system starts from the same assumption: an alternator charges a leisure battery while you drive. Split charge is the foundation of the entire playbook. Electric vans broke that. No conventional alternator means no split charge — and until now, no clear answer.
The Kia PV5 answers the question differently. Its V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) port outputs electricity directly from the traction battery — a 71.2kWh energy reserve on the Long Range model, more than any leisure battery on the market. The Rayne Automotive PV5 board is built around exactly that.
As a guide, a long weekend of typical leisure use draws roughly 2–3% of the Long Range battery's capacity, so using your conversion barely touches your driving range.

Not with a conventional split charge system — electric vans don't have a traditional alternator to charge from. The PV5 board solves this differently: it draws power from the van's V2L port, with a buffer battery smoothing delivery. No split charge needed.
V2L stands for Vehicle-to-Load. The Kia PV5 can output electricity from its traction battery through a dedicated port. The PV5 board takes that output and distributes it to your 12V and 240V circuits.
The traction battery plus buffer battery covers most use cases. Solar is optional for extending range on long off-grid stays.
The PV5 power board, the matching wiring looms and the battery-to-board adaptor cable are available now from this page. Lead times are shown on each product listing.
Yes — power drawn from the traction battery comes from the same energy you drive on. As a guide, a long weekend of typical leisure use draws roughly 2–3% of the Long Range battery's 71.2kWh capacity.
This board is designed specifically for the Kia PV5. If you're converting another electric van, get in touch — Rayne Automotive will happily talk through the options.
