They usually state engine size as a rough guide. For example up to 2l petrol.

For EV only, any cheapest jump start kit will do the job. There is no large amp requirement compared to starting an ICE. All it needs is maintain the voltage to get electronics working. I'd guestimate 12v 30A will do.

So you should base your requirement on the 1.5l petrol engine. Probably better to ask in an ICE forum?

 

This is what I bought, wireless charge pad for your phone as well

I also bought a Halfords jump pack, mine is the cheaper one (upto 2L engines) had it a few years now and used it many times.

 

Fits in the Frunk

 

Any lithium charger with suitable output and Croc clips will do. 3 seconds connect and job done.

 

Yep I second the Halfords thing above

I joined the 12v Death Club very very suddenly ... I ended up cycling to a Halfords, buying one of those things, took it back home and without putting it on charge I plugged in under the bonnet ... Job Done ....
In fact 5 further times that day - again without re-charging it.
So it def comes with enough to get you out of jail the first time

The following day I used it again and then - funny this - plugged it in to the car's ports in the cabin to recharge the errr jump starter . Spent a few days doing this, using it to get the car going then topping it back up every other day from the car. Crazy huh

PS - keep it inside the car cabin, ie glovebox, under the front seat .... lot of BEVs you can't easily get in to the boot until you have started the car. Yes frunk is ideal if the bonnet release is cable pull.

 

Joining Halfords motoring club gives a decent discount.

I ended up buying the cheapest Halfords branded pack after Halfords wouldn’t fit a new 12v battery because “electric car” and being a couple hundreds miles from home I didn’t have the tool to do it myself.
It worked a treat.
