I just looked, but have not found one that can provide adequate wattage.
The ones that say up to 60 watts have reviews stating they don't work.
Most appear to be aimed at using a radar detector, not a portable fridge.
The refurb River 3 is a better deal for $115 as it has a bigger battery, proper 12v outlet and ac outlets, and can be used as an ups.

I, for one, actually like the fact that this doesn't have a cigarette lighter port, as that is a very large connector that I wouldn't personally need. Those ports are normally fused at 10A in cars, and the same amount of power can be delivered through a more compact USB-C port with PD protocol.
Since you can pull 140W through the USB-C port, you shouldn't have a problem powering any cigarette-lighter port devices. Look into a "USB-C PD Decoy". They're dirt cheap and basically handle the negotiation to have the power supply (power bank in this case) output a higher voltagge. If you set one to 12V, you'll get 60W to run to your out. Set the decoy to 28V and throw a small buck converter in the mix to step it down to 12V, and you should be able to pull 10A from it.
Yeah it's extra work, but you could package all that in a small 3D printed enclosure that takes up about as much room as the cigarette lighter plug. Also, I feel like this is something that should alrady exist but I can't find anything.
