It is inspired by [electric vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-wagon) and is perfect for camping adventures or any long trips. The [portable fridge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-fridge1) resembles a look of an ice cooler. It has a minimal design language with futuristic aesthetics that moves around similarly to a suitcase. It has two wheels on the back side and is controlled by a telescopic handle with a thicker U-bar on the front side in order to prevent it from falling over. Notably, it has a small battery to function on its own when it is not connected to EV batteries during transit.
