CHARGING ADAPTER AND MOBILE POWER SUPPLY

A charging adapter includes a hitch adapter assembly including a tube that is received in a trailer hitch of a vehicle, a mounting plate coupled to the tube, and an electric vehicle socket coupled to the mounting plate. The electric vehicle socket receives power from an electric vehicle charging station. The hitch adapter assembly is coupled to a mobile or fixed power storage device in the vehicle via a wire or power cord. The power cord conveys power from the electrical vehicle charging station to the power storage device. The power storage device stores the power for use at a selected location and time.
