Feels too bulky and complicated for an e-bike or handheld lawn tools, riding lawn mower though... maybe?

If the AC to DC conversion is done inside the device then a kettle plug seems like enough to effectively max out a standard outlet. If it's being done outside of the device I guess it depends on the wattage they can pull, USB-C could do 240W... idk if there is another standard that can carry ~1KW of DC power.
