Emergency EV charging for your recovery calls
More stranded EVs are calling tow operators every year, and most of them don't need a flatbed, they need enough charge to reach the next charger or get home. Carry the Mobile Power Plant in the tow truck and sell a charge-up on the shoulder: plug the car in through its own charging cable, bill a service call instead of a tow, and drive away in minutes. It also runs your lights, tools and radios on any recovery.

Why the Mobile Power Plant
Built for this job
A charge-up, not a tow
The 120V/30A outlet feeds the car's onboard charger for an emergency boost, one unit adds an estimated 7–13 km of range.
Rides in the tow truck
52.5 lb in the bed of the truck, no generator idling behind a wrecker.
35–90 minutes on scene
Charge time depends on the vehicle's onboard charger. Plan the stop with the customer before you commit.
Silent on the shoulder
No engine running at a roadside scene, and IP54 sealing for rain and road spray.
Need more than a boost? Link two or three units for a longer rescue range, and charge them off the shop wall between calls.
