Description
The EcoFlow Car Charging Cable is a 1.5 m branded cable for charging an EcoFlow power station from a car cigarette lighter socket. One end has a cigarette lighter plug, the other an XT60 connector that goes into the station’s solar and car input. If you want to buy EcoFlow Car Charging Cable as a spare or for a second car, below we explain which stations it fits and what to expect from it.
What the cable is for
A car socket delivers about 100 W, so an hour of driving gives the station roughly 0.1 kWh. It is not a fast way to charge, but it works when there is no grid and no sun: on the way to the country house, on a road trip, during a move. A small RIVER station can be topped up noticeably over a day on the road, while a large DELTA is kept going rather than fully charged.
Many EcoFlow stations ship with this cable. People buy it separately when the original stayed in another car, got lost, or a second set is needed for the country house.
Compatibility
The cable plugs into an XT60 or XT60i input. The XT60i connector is compatible with the ordinary XT60, so one cable fits both older and newer models. This input is found on:
- RIVER 2, RIVER 2 Pro, RIVER 2 Max;
- RIVER 3 Plus and RIVER 3 Plus Wireless;
- TRAIL 300 DC and TRAIL Plus 300 DC;
- DELTA 2, DELTA 2 Max, DELTA 3, DELTA 3 Plus, DELTA 3 1500, DELTA 3 Max;
- DELTA Pro.
For other models, check the station’s input in its manual or write to us and we will help.

How to charge the station from a car
Charge the station while the engine is running. Drawing power from the socket for a long time with the engine off can drain the starter battery. In many cars the socket switches off with the ignition, and then there is no problem.
Do not coil the cable tightly near the plug and do not trap it in a door. Before a trip, check that the plug sits firmly in the socket: if it wobbles, the contact heats up and charging stops.
If you need fast charging on the road, take a look at the EcoFlow 800W Alternator Charger. It takes power from the car’s alternator and delivers up to 800 W, eight times more than a cigarette lighter socket.
FAQ
Does the cable work in a 24 V truck?
The cable only carries the socket’s voltage. Whether the station accepts 24 V depends on the station: for example, DELTA 2 and DELTA Pro support 12 V and 24 V car batteries. Check this in your model’s specifications.
How long does a station take to charge from the socket?
Take the station’s capacity in Wh and divide it by 100. For a 256 Wh RIVER 2 that is about 3 hours, for a 1024 Wh DELTA 2 more than 10 hours.
Is this an original EcoFlow cable?
Yes, it is an EcoFlow cable with the official code EFCAR-XT60CBL1.5M. If you want to buy EcoFlow Car Charging Cable together with a station, write to us and we will put the set together.
