Quick Answer
EcoFlow power stations can be charged from an electric vehicle through the EV's 12V outlet, which is typically available on most EVs.
Charging from an Electric Vehicle
EcoFlow power stations, including the Delta Pro and River series, have a DC input port that allows you to charge from an electric vehicle’s 12V outlet. This port accepts a wide range of DC input voltages, typically between 12V and 15V. To charge from an EV, simply plug the power station’s DC input cable into the EV’s 12V outlet, and the power station will automatically detect the voltage and begin charging.
Benefits and Limitations
Charging from an electric vehicle can be a convenient option for EcoFlow power station owners who also own an EV. Since most EVs already have a 12V outlet for powering accessories, you can use this outlet to charge your power station. However, it’s essential to note that the charging speed will be relatively slow, typically around 80-100W, compared to charging from a wall outlet or solar panels. This means it will take significantly longer to fully charge the power station.
Safety and Compatibility
When charging from an electric vehicle, it’s crucial to ensure compatibility between the power station and the EV’s 12V outlet. EcoFlow recommends checking the documentation for both the power station and the EV to confirm compatibility. Additionally, always follow proper safety guidelines when charging from an EV, including using a suitable cable and monitoring the charging process to avoid overcharging or electrical shock.
