electric cooler

Plugged-in icebox

An electric cooler is a portable insulated container that uses electricity rather than ice to keep contents cold.

Unlike traditional coolers that require ice packs, electric coolers plug into car outlets or wall sockets, making them popular for road trips and camping: We kept the drinks cold in the electric cooler on the drive down.

Some models can also warm food.
