A kettle through a USB outlet? USB Type C PD tops out at like 200 W or so...
I feel like it makes more sense to have been running off a conventional 120V outlet which some minivans have
I don't build the cars I just make the memes ๐คทโโ๏ธ
It's Lemmy. You're bound to have people going through the technical specifications of USB at some point haha
It's Star Trek, Linux, and USB specs. You can't not have people talking about one of those.
240W for 3.1, but it's pretty rarely implemented and there's no way a car's built in USB port is going over 15W.
240W is also 20A in a 12V car which is definitely going to blow a fuse.
I mean there's Welding setups that can be run off a car, but those require a lot of modification.
Most likely that persons minivan isn't capable of more than 240W, but the engine would certainly capable of running a kettle. It just needs a bigger alternator/generator on it.
And the cars battery could also provide enough amps for a beefy inverter, at least for a while.
Who knows, maybe it was modified?
A car outlet usually doesn't go past 200W either. They could have previously heated the water and were keeping it warm, or heating just a small amount of water
