Maybe you could be more specific as to what you already have, and what
you are looking for.
If you already have a 12V car adapter, you can buy an EmPower to
car-adapter converter. Kind of hard to find. Radio Shack used to sell
them, but I think they don't anymore. You may have to order on-line.
EmPower puts out around 15V, but since a 12 volt car outlet is really
around 13.8V, most 12V devices work fine on EmPower's 15V.

You could also buy an inverter that plugs into the EmPower socket, i.e.

Be warned that the inverter ratings tend to be optimistic, i.e. I have
"http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11108992" which is
rated at 100W but which will not power a Dell 65W notebook computer
power supply. |
