2 Answers
Solutions for when your electric vehicle runs out of battery midway: 1. Carry a portable charging box: A portable charging box refers to a simple charging device that allows you to charge from a standard household or commercial three-pin power socket, plugging into a 16A or 10A three-pin socket; 2. Download a charging station APP: If you find that the remaining battery power cannot sustain the journey to your destination, open the APP to locate the nearest charging station; 3. Make good use of mobile charging APPs: You can choose to use a mobile charging APP, place an order or make a call through the APP, and a charging vehicle equipped with a generator will provide on-site service; 4. Free towing service from your insurance company: Call your insurance company's rescue hotline. When purchasing vehicle insurance, insurance companies usually offer additional services, including free towing when the vehicle's power battery runs out.
The biggest fear when driving an electric car is running out of battery midway. I once almost got stranded due to a navigation estimation error. Now I’ve learned to check the remaining range and charging station distribution before heading out, always leaving a 20% buffer in navigation for emergencies. If the battery runs critically low, turn on the hazard lights and pull over immediately—blocking the main road is very dangerous! I always keep a roadside assistance card in my car; the free towing service exclusive to electric vehicles is there for a reason. Mobile apps can help locate nearby fast-charging stations—if you’re lucky, you might find one just a few hundred meters away and push the car there. I’ve even seen resourceful people carry portable charging cables to plug into convenience store outlets—slow but enough for emergencies. Remember, in freezing weather, don’t push it by blasting the heater, as it drains the battery rapidly.
