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.

Tell dispatch
- Your location in Pennsylvania: 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

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.
