What to Do If an Electric Vehicle Runs Out of Battery on a Long Trip?

[SanBeckett]

If an electric vehicle runs out of battery on a long trip, seeking rescue is necessary. Here are some rescue methods: 1. Contact the insurance company for towing service: If commercial insurance is purchased annually, most insurance companies provide customers with 1-2 free towing services per year. Call the insurance company's customer service hotline to dispatch a tow truck for rescue. It's best for pure electric vehicles to plan the route before getting on the highway to avoid running out of battery midway. 2. Notify the manufacturer for rescue: Emerging automakers like NIO, Tesla, and XPeng offer rescue services to car owners. Generally, manufacturers also provide a certain number of free rescue services per year, similar to insurance companies. Beyond that, owners will need to pay for the service. 3. Contact a mobile charging vehicle: Many charging apps now offer mobile charging services. These mobile charging vehicles typically use gasoline generators for power supply, but such services are usually expensive. Therefore, when charging, it's advisable to locate the nearest charging station and end the charging session once the vehicle's range can reach it, saving on additional costs.
