Reminds me of those portable UPS used for PC and CCTV. While I welcome the idea of having this powerbank in an EV, the additional fire risk has to be taken into consideration too, for those interested. ZipCharge Go Portable Electric Vehicle Charge Introduced at COP26 A UK startup called ZipCharge introduced its portable electric vehicle charger called the Go at COP26. The Go is a compact, with size and shape of an average-sized carry-on suitcase, and weighs about 23 Kg. It has a 4 kWh (net capacity) battery and can charge an EV at 7.2 kW. However, larger versions will also be introduced, offering up to 8 kWh of net capacity. In a little more than 30 minutes, the 4 kWh version can add approximately 19 to 32 Km of range, depending on how efficient the EV is. The larger 8 kWh unit needs about an hour to fully discharge and will add roughly 40 to 64 Km of driving range. The ZipCharge Go is targeted for consumer use and will be available for purchase (pricing hasn't been announced) as well as leased, with a starting lease price of £49 (S$90) per month. ZipCharge plans to begin customer deliveries in Q4 2022. Basic software functionality will be available to everyone so they can plan and schedule charging, however, enhanced AI software functionality and insurance will be offered on subscription for a small monthly fee which, on average, will save the user £15-20 (S$28 - S$37) per month.

Anyone had tried using power bank as the alternative power source when car engine is off? Just wondering as seen on website people selling car cam with power bank. Is it easier than to use car battery which you would need to wire the car cam? But would it be safer?
