Driving conditions in Columbia

Most Columbia calls come from everyday driving: a longer-than-planned commute, a public charger that is out of service, or a car that sat for days and woke up low. A short mobile DC session usually adds enough range to reach the next working station.

Tell dispatch

Your location in Columbia: address, exit, mile marker or cross-street
Year, make and model of your EV
Battery % and any warning on the dashboard
Garage level and height clearance, if inside

Stay safe while you wait

Hazard lights on; move off live lanes if the car still creeps
On a highway shoulder, wait behind the barrier if it is safe
Keep your phone charged and your line free for our call
In immediate danger, call 911 first

When towing is the better answer

If a warning light says the car should not be driven, or the car will not power on after a 12V boost, dispatch arranges EV-safe flatbed towing instead of charging.
