Nicholas Seward Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago I drive a 2016 Dodge Journey and I'm putting together a small emergency kit for it. Central Florida storm season has me thinking about backup power for phone charging, a small fan, and maybe a portable fridge cooler on longer trips. I've been reading about portable power stations and solar generators for 2026, and the capacity and output numbers are a lot to sort through. My main uncertainty is sizing. I don't want to buy something too small and regret it, but I also don't want to haul a heavy unit around in the back of the Journey if I only need it occasionally. I'm also unsure whether the 12V socket in the vehicle is useful for recharging one of these while driving, or if that's too slow to matter. If you've run a power station in your Journey for camping or storm prep, what capacity has worked for you, and where do you keep it? Any input on the 12V charging question would help too.
