ZipCharge launches suitcase-sized powerbank for EVs

ZipCharge introduced a new charging product designed for electric vehicles that can help convince people with range anxiety about switching from gas to electric cars. The British startup debuted the ZipCharge Go at the Cop26 climate summit. It looks like it's the size of a carry-on suitcase and weighs around 50 pounds. It has wheels and a retractable handle, allowing you to put it in your trunk.

The ZipCharge Go can provide up to 20 miles of range after plugging into the car for 30 minutes. There's a higher-capacity version that gets up to 40 miles of range. It works with any plug-in hybrid or EV with a Type 2 socket. It can charge a vehicle to its total capacity between 30 minutes to an hour.
