Sorry, no.
It doesn't even appear to have a 12 volt socket and even if it did it would be limited to ~10 amps.
You would need hundreds of amps to jump start a car, which varies depending on the actual engine.
This link will probably help project farm jump starters

It takes hundreds of amps to jump a car battery.
How many do you think you can pull through a cigarette lighter socket?

What car is it?
Most likely it's the starter solenoid fuse. Sarters are usually unfused and suck a lot more than 30 A.

You don't try to start the car using the device directly. You'll fry everything. You use the EcoFlow like any handheld car charger; hook it up thru a cig lighter or other non-starting circuit, allow the car battery to charge for a bit, then start the car. Starting the car will not pull directly from the EcoFlow, and if it's plugged into a cig lighter or something, it's fuse protected.

you need something like 600 cranking amps to start a car.
