How can I charge an electric car in an emergency?
I recently bought a Chevy Bolt EV, and I do love it. But if there’s an emergency and I need to quickly drive away (and the battery isn’t charged) is there anything I can do? Wondering how to charge an electric car in an emergency.

If you’re wondering how to charge an electric car in an emergency, the best option you have is to purchase a
mobile EV charger
. This could save you time trying to hook up your car to an outlet, and if it’s an emergency and you need to charge your battery, then there’s likely not going to be a charging port just conveniently sitting next to you. So if you want to solve this problem, your best bet is to buy a mobile EV charger. Blink (a well-known
EV charging
port company) offers arguably the best mobile charging kit around—but it isn’t cheap. It starts off at $6,500, which, like most things EV-related, is a little pricey for the average person. But the bright side is that Blink’s mobile charging unit is compatible with virtually all EV brands, which is really helpful. The Blink mobile charger is also incredibly quick—converting energy into your battery at about 1 mile per minute. This means that after an hour of charging, you’ll at least be able to make it 60 miles farther down the road. The downside to
owning an EV
? There’s no way to rack up enough battery’s worth of energy to make it hundreds of miles within minutes of charging. Yet. But when it comes to car insurance,
