120V charge isn't near enough to charge a car quickly enough to get them back on the road in a reasonable time. A battery or generator running at 480V would be necessary for a timely service. Here's a link AAA Introduces Mobile Charging Trucks for Drained EVs. And, just for the record - the article is from 2011, eleven years ago. The truck has(had) 240V and 500V charging. You can also just call AAA to recover some of the eleven years you've lost.

Over 200,000 miles between two gas powered trucks over 23 years and only once did I need an emergency fill - because I parked on a slope with a low tank. This doesn't happen with EV's at all for obvious reasons and they give you accurate percentages on remaining charges. Love our Tesla. Hate the musk.

Go easy, friend - he may be trying to get one of his friends out of a Uyghur concentration camp. Or maybe he's trying to be able to take the bus again.

But wHaT aBoUt NuClEaR?!!! It's totally carbon free, only emits skittles and baby farts, and would solve ALL the worlds problems if not for government red tape and over-regulation. Anyone who disagrees with this is ignorant, a communist, anti-American, and/or poorly educated. Oh yeah - molten salt and thorium reactors will do all this and get you a girlfriend who's a super model, fix your baldness, ED, and bring Jesus back. /s as if you didn't know.

Yes, I, too am smelling the scent of a paper clip optimizer here.
