How it works

1
Share your location

Use the locate button or click the map where your vehicle is stranded.

2
Pick a provider

Regional rescue services appear first, then national on-demand networks — with verified rates where published.

3
Know your target

We show the nearest fast chargers of every network, so you know how many miles of rescue charge you actually need.

Stranded? Do this first.

Ninety seconds of calm beats an hour of panic. Work through these before you call anyone.

🚦1. Get safe

Coast fully off the roadway — shoulder, exit ramp, or parking lot. Hazards on. If you're on a highway shoulder, stay buckled or stand well behind the guardrail.

🔋2. Preserve what's left

Turn off climate control and unneeded electronics. Even at "0%" many EVs keep a small buffer — don't burn it repositioning the car repeatedly.

📍3. Pin your location

Drop a pin or note the nearest mile marker and direction of travel. Rescue drivers lose more time finding you than charging you.

📞4. Check memberships first

AAA/CAA, your insurer, and your carmaker may already cover this. Tesla roadside does not cover depletion — but many others do. Then call a provider below.

Know your plug

The first question every dispatcher asks. Thirty seconds here saves a wasted truck roll.

NACS (Tesla)

All Teslas + 2025-newer Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai/Kia and most new EVs. The new North American standard — small, light, everywhere.

CCS1

Most 2015–2024 non-Tesla EVs in North America: Bolt, Mach-E, Ioniq, ID.4, Rivian. DC fast charging via the bottom pins.

CHAdeMO

Nissan Leaf and older imports. Being phased out — fewer stations every year, which makes mobile rescue extra valuable for Leaf drivers.

J1772

The universal Level 2 plug — every EV can use it, Teslas via the adapter that came with the car. Most mobile rescue rigs carry this.

Good news: a rescue truck with a Tesla Universal / J1772 setup charges every car on this list — that's what Miles of Charge runs. Just tell the dispatcher your model and year.

Winter is why we exist

Cold is the #1 cause of EV strandings in the north. Here's what temperature really does to your range.

Real-world range vs. temperature

70°F — EPA baseline
100%
32°F — freezing
~80%
20°F — with cabin heat
~65%
0°F — deep cold + heat
~50–55%

A "260-mile" EV is a ~140-mile EV on a 0°F Vermont morning. Plan trips on winter range, not window-sticker range.

Cold-weather survival rules

  • Precondition while plugged in — heat the cabin and battery on wall power, not battery power.
  • Use seat heaters over cabin heat — they cost watts; the heat pump costs miles.
  • Keep 20% floor in winter — cold spikes consumption exactly when chargers are slowest.
  • A cold battery charges slowly — even at a DC fast charger, expect half speed until the pack warms.
  • Stranded in the cold? An EV can keep you warm for hours on a few kWh — stay with the car, crack a window, call a rescue below.

Fleets, dealers & roadside networks

One dead delivery van costs more per hour than a month of coverage. Here's how businesses use the network.

🚚Fleet operators

Delivery vans, rideshare, municipal EVs — pre-negotiate rescue rates with providers on your routes instead of paying emergency prices at 2am.

🏢Dealerships & rentals

Your customer stranded in a car with your plate frame is a review waiting to happen. Give service desks this directory — or a partner on retainer.

🤝Insurers & motor clubs

Tow-to-charger costs you $200+. A mobile charge costs less and rates higher on satisfaction. Our directory is the fulfillment map.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers from our provider research across both countries.

How much does emergency mobile EV charging cost?

Verified 2026 rates cluster between $155 and $199 per emergency call in the US — budget options start at $75, after-hours calls run up to $225. AAA members get it free in ~15 pilot metros. Compare that to $200–$350+ for an EV flatbed tow and the math usually favors the rescue.

How many miles of range will I get?

Most services deliver 10–40 miles in 30–60 minutes. It depends on the truck's power and your car's onboard charger — a Tesla Model 3 takes charge nearly twice as fast as a Nissan Leaf on the same equipment. The goal isn't a full battery; it's reaching the nearest fast charger.

Is it bad for my battery to run to zero?

Occasionally hitting very low charge won't ruin a modern pack, but sitting at 0% for extended periods can. Once rescued, drive straight to a charger. If your EV has fully shut down, don't repeatedly try to wake it — some cars lock out the drivetrain and need extra steps to recover.

Does AAA or CAA cover this?

AAA offers free mobile charging to members in ~15 pilot metros (about 10–14 miles of range in 30 minutes). CAA-Québec has run mobile recharge in Montreal and Quebec City; BCAA and AMA operate charge trucks in BC and Alberta. Everywhere else, clubs tow you to the nearest charger — which still beats paying retail for a tow.

Will Tesla roadside assistance charge my car?

No. Tesla explicitly excludes battery depletion — the tow is on you. That's true for several other OEM programs too (Rivian charges for depletion assistance; Ford tows you to a charger during the warranty period). This is exactly the gap mobile rescue services fill.

What if there's no provider near me?

Large parts of both countries have no dedicated mobile charging yet — 29 US states and most of rural Canada. Your options: a national dispatch network (call to confirm coverage), your roadside membership's tow-to-charger benefit, or any local towing company — many are adding mobile EV charging and just haven't told the internet yet. Know one? Tell us and we'll list them.
