BASTRO is a portable power station for camping vehicles that is unique in that it uses refurbished lithium-ion batteries that were previously found in electric vehicles. It offers 2 kW of power while being significantly more compact. At a weight of 13.5 kg, it is also lighter than other portable power generators with the same capacity. BASTRO is quiet and energy-efficient, has a long battery life and produces fewer carbon emissions than gas generators.
