As we go into the holiday season many may be looking forward to exploring our beautiful country by way of RV, camping or living that van life. If you are one of those people – or you’ve always wanted to try it yourself – you should seriously be paying attention to what EcoFlow is doing.

While we’ve covered EcoFlow extensively here on Hypertext (see here and here for primers on the company) what you need to know is that it specialises in high-quality battery-powered generators that look to solve all the issues many of us have with the traditional power grid, fossil fuel generators and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).

EcoFlow products use premium lithium-ion batteries which give you more of everything compared to the old technology of lead-acid batteries in a UPS. Greater capacity, faster charging, increased durability and much more are all on offer from EcoFlow.

These also beat out the aforementioned fossil fuel generators by receiving charge from a wall outlet (or solar, more on that later) so you don’t need to keep emptying your wallet to fill up your generator, not to mention the removal of air and noise pollution when in use.

But EcoFlow’s biggest trick may be in the sheer portability of the engineering that goes into each and every battery-powered generator. EcoFlow products are made to be moved around, taken with you and enjoyed. Load it up into your camper, RV or even small cars, EcoFlow fits almost anywhere. Then, when you arrive, you have power on tap instantly.

While we’ve talked a lot about how EcoFlow helps make travel all the better, the wide range of products from the company can do the same for off-grid living.

Everything that makes EcoFlow perfect for travel also makes it perfect for living away from the grid under your own power with the flexibility of your own source of power that can be moved and charged up as you please.

For charging EcoFlow offers an entire range of solar panels to further decrease your dependency on the grid. EcoFlow solar panels are, just like the battery-powered generators, made to be portable with folding structures and included carrying bags. The clever engineering continues as those carrying bags double as stands, so it’s up to you when it comes to keeping them mobile or installing them for your off-grid setup.

While these solar panels can be used on their own to provide power to just about anything, they pair perfectly with other EcoFlow products like the DELTA Series and RIVER Pro families of products, all of which are on sale in South Africa right now.
