Here's why:
* Car electrical systems operate on 12V DC. A 120V outlet provides alternating current (AC) electricity, which is incompatible with your car's electrical system.
* Safety hazards. Attempting to modify your car's electrical system to handle 120V could result in serious damage to your vehicle, electrical shock, or even fire.
* Regulations. There are stringent safety regulations regarding automotive electrical systems. Modifying your car's electrical system without proper certification is illegal and could void your warranty.
What you can do:
* Use a 12V power outlet: Your car already comes equipped with a 12V power outlet. This is designed to power devices that run on 12V DC, such as phones, laptops, and other car accessories.
* Install a 12V inverter: A 12V inverter converts your car's 12V DC power to 120V AC power. This allows you to use standard 120V appliances in your car, but it's important to choose an inverter with the correct wattage and ensure that your car's electrical system can handle the additional load.
Remember, always prioritize safety and consult with a qualified automotive electrician if you have any doubts about modifying your car's electrical system.
