you can actually, you'll need an inverter and a bank of batteries, you will need to bypass the pump and allow the pressure washer to suck straight from the tank/hose pipe and you will need to leave the van running while you work.

A 100 Ah battery will last approx 15-20 minutes with a small 1500 watt washer.
Inverters that can handle that kind of power are costly,.. but with 3 or 4 batteries it could be a possibility.

Cheaper to buy a petrol one tho!
