Specs, side by side

Which one should you buy?

I want the highest score.

The EcoFlow River 2 (17/20). It wins on our rubric.

I want the alternative.

The BLUETTI EB3A portable power station (16/20). One point back, and worth a look if the price is right.

What matters most in a cab power station?

Capacity for your devices, charging speed between stops, and honest wattage ratings. Both of these clear the bar for typical cab loads.
