Our technicians know where manufacturers hide 12V terminals (often under the frunk, behind a panel or in the trunk), and use proper jump packs instead of another running vehicle.

Driving conditions in Oakland
Most Oakland 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
- Book or call. Tell us your EV and location; online booking is available.
- Safe boost. The technician connects to the manufacturer’s 12V jump points.
- Check and advise. We confirm the car powers on and tell you if the 12V battery likely needs replacing.

- 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
