Van Life
Van life power needs are real and continuous: you need to run a 12V fridge around the clock, charge devices, power lights, and maybe run a fan or a small appliance. A large-capacity power station paired with roof solar is the backbone of any serious van build. The right station can also serve as a drop-in upgrade to a van without a full rewire — just plug into your existing 12V setup.
What to know before you buy
12V compressor fridges run around 30–50W average — a critical load that runs 24/7
Lighting, USB charging, a fan, and a laptop add another 50–100Wh per day on average
A realistic daily van consumption of 300–500Wh means you need 1–2kWh of capacity
Pair with 200–400W of roof solar and you will rarely need shore power on sunny days
Expandable stations let you add battery capacity later without replacing everything
