      It’s more for the motorhome that’s in storage than for the car! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      You’ll only waste that hard earned cash and come back in a rage saying that the dam stupid thing cost a fortune and has collected dust...

      The cost of a power pack - circa £50 - which you could keep in the van so useful when the van is not with the car, is a lot easier and...

      I’d never jump start off an ev 12 volt battery. That’s why I carry the little “ pocket” jump start unit. It’ll start my ev if required...

      I thought it was in the manual. You can jump start an EV from an ICE car, but never never do it the other way round.

      I'm like most of the people above - there's no way I would try and bump start any other car from mine as there's too much risk of frying...
