Whether you own a boat or an RV, chances are they can both generate power, but usually not much, and perhaps 500W of power if you are lucky. You can\u2019t do much with that sort of output except power up a couple of lights and charge up your laptop or mobile phone. Boats, especially, need a thorough cleaning from time to time and while there\u2019s plenty of water around, there\u2019s no power for your Karcher. Maybe you\u2019ve got a flat battery in either the boat or the RV and you\u2019re stuck in the middle of nowhere because you left some lights on overnight. With a portable generator, you might as well be hooked up to the mains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it\u2019s true, though with one principal caveat. The electricity generated must be a pure sine wave, which means that the power generated is totally consistent. You will only find this with high-quality inverter portable generators<\/a> such as the MaXpeeedingrods MXR5500. You may think it a bizarre situation to use a portable generator to charge an electric car but, as many electric car owners are all too painfully aware, there are times when you just can\u2019t get to a charging station, and you simply run out of power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
