    I am wondering
    ( and salivating)
    after just discovering Jeep's invention:
    4 plugs board 1800W each
    conected to the regular charging socket.

    Looking at it: justba regular charging EV cord with 4 outlets on the other side.
    Obviously, insude are transformer, some circuit breakers, protection. There must be a comtroling settings on the vehicle side as well

    With Prius Plug-in ( Prime)
    it would have a tremendous benefit.
    Regular ones may be useful outdoors with a running engine.

    As of now it is impossible to use on anything but Jeep.
    But may be daredevils here would sugest some kind of vivisection or at least point to a dream

    I'm seeing them on ebay for <$200.
    I'm tempted to buy one and see if it can be modified.


    EDIT: Nevermind. It looks like the power box is fed with 120vac from the battery. They must have an onboard inverter. Its nothing more than a fancy power strip.
