Driving conditions in Richmond
Most Richmond 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.
How it works
- Call or request online. Share your exact location, vehicle make and model, and the battery percentage shown.
- Dispatch confirms. We confirm connector compatibility, the price and an arrival estimate before a unit rolls.
- We charge on site. The technician connects the mobile DC fast charger and adds about 25–50 miles of range.

Tell dispatch
- Your location in Richmond: 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.
