About EV roadside assistance
Traditional roadside plans were built around gas cans and tow hooks. An electric vehicle that stops on the road usually needs one of three things: energy, a 12V battery boost, or careful flatbed transport. ChargePatrol handles all three from one dispatch line.
Tell dispatch what the dashboard shows and we will match the right response, so you are not paying for a tow when a 30-minute charge would get you moving.

Tell dispatch
- Your location in New York: 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.
