I'm only half kidding. I'm a bit of a prepper and I have lots of powerbanks and devices that charge from USB but besides idling my truck I really had no other way to charge any of them in case of a long-term power outage which seemed a bit of an oversight on my part.

Not like this solves the issue. 30 watts (under ideal conditions) isn't much but it's a start.

I keep thinking about this. I can't justify solar when I live in a northern country and pay about $0.06 USD/kWh, but the value of resilience also counts.

    about $0.06 USD/kWh

    😭 The per-kilowatt hour rider fees on top of my base rate per kWh are way more than that lol.
