Can you charge a laptop in a car?

I’m going on a road trip with my partner next week, but I’ll be working throughout the trip. I’ll need my laptop to stay charged, which means I’ll need to charge it in the car. How do I do that?

Yes, you can charge a laptop in a car on your
road trip
! Here are a few ways that you can do it:
  1. Use a power inverter, which allows you to plug a normal charger into your car outlet.
  2. Purchase a car charger for your laptop, which will plug directly into the car outlet.
  3. Get a power bank for your laptop. While you’ll have to recharge your power bank when you stop for the night, you’ll be able to charge your laptop without using any of the car outlets.
When you go on a long trip, it’s also important to have a good car insurance policy in place to keep you safe. Check out the
