- Charge time in 15-minute blocks. Each block adds roughly 10 miles of range. You pay only for the range you need to reach the nearest fast charger or get home.
- No flatbed, no tow fee. We charge you where you sit, so you skip the $300-plus a flatbed EV tow across the county would run.
Charging around Alpine
Alpine is the last comfortable stop before the backcountry, and that's exactly why we get calls here. Eastbound drivers on I-8 watch range fall on the long grade and realize the math stopped working somewhere around Tavern Road. Westbound drivers coming back from the mountains arrive at Alpine on fumes. Locals in Alpine Heights and Rancho Palo Verde deal with the same hills every day, plus the occasional Tesla 12V battery that dies in a driveway a long way from any service center.
We roll to every corner of Alpine, including Alpine proper, Alpine Heights, Rancho Palo Verde area, Victoria Drive area, South Grade Road area. Out here the nearest fast charger can sit a drive off, so an extra charge block is common.
