What's the local pattern for EV calls in Lake San Marcos?
Lake San Marcos has heavy golf-cart charging demand alongside EV charging — many homes install dedicated golf-cart circuits in addition to Level 2 EV chargers. Older homes around the lake often need panel upgrades for the combined load.. Inland out-of-charge calls come in clusters during summer heat waves when AC load and uphill driving combine to eat range.
Will my EV be damaged from running it to 0%?
Generally no, but it's hard on the battery. Modern EVs have a buffer below the displayed 0% to protect the cells from full discharge. Occasionally running to 0 won't kill the battery; making a habit of it will shorten its life. After we charge you, the car should behave normally.
Why not just tow me to a Supercharger?
Towing an EV is more complicated than a gas car. You usually need a flatbed — you can't tow most EVs with the drive wheels on the ground. Flatbed dispatch to a Supercharger can take 1 to 3 hours in San Diego. Our mobile charge usually gets you back on the road in under an hour.
