What a rescue really costs in Julian

How your Julian bill breaks down

- 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 Julian
Most of our Julian calls aren't locals. They're day-trippers who left San Diego with 60% charge, climbed through Santa Ysabel for apple pie or a snow day, and watched the battery fall twice as fast as the miles. Downtown Julian fills up on fall weekends and after every dusting of snow, and there's no fast charging in town to lean on. Add cold-weather range loss and a heater running while you wait for parking, and the margin that looked fine in Ramona is gone by Pine Hills.
We roll to every corner of Julian, including Downtown Julian, Julian Estates, Pine Hills, Wynola, Cuyamaca area. Out here the nearest fast charger can sit a drive off, so an extra charge block is common.
