About emergency EV charging
Running out of charge is stressful, especially on a highway shoulder, in a parking garage or late at night. ChargePatrol sends a mobile Level 3 DC fast charging unit to your exact location so you do not have to wait for a tow just to reach a plug.
A typical emergency visit adds roughly 25–50 miles of range, which is enough to reach a public fast charger or get home. Dispatch runs 24/7/365 and our average arrival time is under 45 minutes.
