12v outlet

[RickMachE]

Yeah, maybe this one's different, but in my experience the windows block so much UV that solar doesn't work super well inside the car. In my fiesta I tried to use a 100w panel in the back window. It fit great in otherwise wasted space, but it barely put out any juice. Outside the car it was

(To clarify, it was on the surface below the back window laying flat, not blocking it)

I would expect that to be 100% accurate on this car, and there's no real good place to put it.

@RickMachE Would it be safe to plug in a 500W inverter into the 12v outlet while the vehicle is ON? Something like this?

Limit of that outlet is 240w.

Occurs to me there’s a lot of over complicated car-involved solutions, if car’s in a garage where there is charge capacity there surely is domestic mains so just plug in there ??‍

Yes, It does seem like an extension cord is the simplest solution.
