Most people just charge off their cars battery. If its just the one person, and they don't use many packs there is no need to keep starting the engine unless the battery is knackered.
Personally though I use an old car battery which I charge at home. Means I don't need to worry about my car not starting, and if need be I can pit away from my car - something to consider at a busy meeting if you are parked some way away.
Very small genny's can be pretty cheap. Also Howler uses a small leisure battery which is good for a few charges and is no bigger than a transmitter - handy for traveling light.
My 12V is dying so I reckon I'll get one of those too.

There is some 240V available but right now its off the genny that powers race control so its emergency only.
