    If the hoist actuators were rated to 24v dc you could actually power the hoist from the 24v mob device by plugging in a flying lead to mob device charge point.

    Not all mobility devices that need to be hoisted are powered (wheelchairs etc) are powered, and not all run on 24v, and I’m not sure I’d personally want to sacrifice wheelchair range, especially as I’ve never seen an in-car wheelchair battery charger offered

    Assuming the charge port on the mob device was bidirectional.

    You can buy a 12v to 24v 1.5A or 24v to 12v battery charger to charge wheelchair/scooter in the car. Several EV’s have built in inverters with a 230v socket.

    One such device.
