Introduction
Amazon is a multinational technology and e-commerce company based in the United States. It was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and has grown to become one of the world's largest online retailers. In 2023, Amazon's market share in the United States reached 37.6%, dominating the online shopping space. While Amazon initially focused on selling books, it now offers a wide range of products, including those related to charging.
Portable power stations have gained popularity in the USA due to their versatile applications. They serve as essential tools for emergency preparedness during power outages and natural disasters, while also catering to the increasing demand for off-grid and sustainable living, outdoor adventures, and remote work and travel. They offer a convenient and reliable source of electricity, making them a popular choice across a range of American lifestyles and needs.
Our method of ranking is slightly different due to Amazon's product categorization, which doesn't include a standalone category for "portable power stations." Instead, they are included within the "Outdoor Generators & Portable Power" category. We manually excluded diesel and gasoline generators, although they make up a small percentage and are environmentally polluting. In fact, we conducted a ranking of portable power stations on Amazon US approximately a year ago, with Jackery got four positions. Has there been any change since then? Let's find out. The statistics for this ranking were collected on October 16, 2023, and the product prices, ratings, and review counts are as of that date.
