The global transportation energy transition is accelerating. With the continued growth in the number of electric vehicles, roadside assistance systems are facing new challenges. For decades, towing was almost the only solution when a vehicle was unable to move. However, in the era of electric vehicles, this traditional model has gradually revealed problems such as low efficiency, high cost, and long response times.
Meanwhile, a new solution is rapidly gaining popularity—the Mobile EV Charger. This device can directly bring electricity to the vehicle on-site, achieving rapid recharging and restoring the vehicle's driving capability.
Especially when the mobile charging equipment reaches a power of 420kW, the roadside assistance model begins to fundamentally change.
Vehicles no longer need to be towed away; instead, they can be restored to driving capability on-site.
| Indicators |
Data |
| Global EV Ownership (2023) |
40 million vehicles |
| Projected 2030 |
240 million vehicles |
| Annual Growth Rate |
30%-35% |
| EV Drivers Experienced Battery Anxiety |
70% |
With the increasing number of electric vehicles, the demand for roadside assistance is also growing rapidly.
The following situations often lead to vehicle downtime:
* Battery estimation errors
* Long-distance driving exceeding the driving range
* Charging station queues
* Extreme weather affecting battery efficiency
Therefore, EV infrastructure requires new supplementary solutions.
II. Efficiency Issues of Traditional Towing Rescue Mode
Traditional rescue mainly relies on towing.
However, towing processes are complex and inefficient.
Traditional EV Towing Process
| Steps |
Time |
| Receiving an SOS |
5–10 minutes |
| Dispatching a Tow Truck |
20–40 minutes |
| Arrival at the Scene |
30–90 minutes |
| Loading the Vehicle |
10–20 minutes |
| Towing to a Charging Station |
30–120 minutes |
Total Time: 1.5 hours - 4 hours
Furthermore, higher costs are involved.
EV Towing Costs
| Item |
Cost |
| Towing Fee |
$150–$400 |
| Downtime Loss |
$50–$400/hour |
| Driver Waiting Time |
$30–$80 |
Therefore, towing is not the best solution for the EV era.
III. Mobile EV Charger: A New Roadside Assistance Model
The concept of the Mobile EV Charger is very straightforward:
Delivering electricity to the car, instead of towing it away.
Mobile charging rescue process is simpler.
| Steps |
Time |
| Dispatch rescue |
5 minutes |
| Departure |
10 minutes |
| Arrival at the scene |
20–40 minutes |
| Connect to charge |
Instantly |
| Vehicle resumes driving |
20–40 minutes |
Total time: 40-90 minutes
Compared to towing rescue, efficiency is improved by over 60%.
