Can I power an electric blanket from my car's accessory socket?
We have a Honda 2020 CR-V with non-standard outlet for tablets, etc. What type of adapter can I buy? I’m trying to plug in an electric blanket.

An electric blanket is designed to run on a domestic 230V supply and it is unlikely that the 12V system in your car will provide enough power for it to work, and even if it did it would potentially drain the battery very quickly. You can buy inverters that take a 12V input from the car and provide a three-pin domestic socket, but we would advise checking the specification of your electric blanket first.
