What a cool idea. I wish them well and hopefully we’ll see them expand to Vancouver Island.
I agree. thanks for watching
A tow is around $250 US vs minimum $75 US for a charge. Hopefully this type of business will expand. Much needed in places that are off the beaten path where most towns don't have a Tesla, CCS, or J1772 charger anywhere to be found.
Wow never knew this existed. So range anxiety should be gone…Also the subscription option for those that live in Condos or where they cannot charge at home…
Good idea. The car company NIO in China is providing the same service and includes a few of these charges for free each year for their customers. This works great in locations where there is no charging infrastructure. Good video!
Shout out to Southpoint Exchange shopping centre 😊 edit: I wrote this before I got the point where you mentioned you were at Southpoint! Recognized it right away.
I like the recharge battery units , is the large one the same manufacturer as the small batteries? , if they can be charged up using Solar then this business has a huge potential
Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!
You're more than welcome. Have a good one!
What about own gas portable generator for long trip
Good job brother, thank you for sharing 👍
They use Mercedes Metris van, I drive the same van, it's a great van!!!!
Nice! I also booked mine for Monday so excited to see how it goes!
How did it go?
Hello, really enjoyed your post! What did you pay for this service? And how long did it take to get a charge at what percentage.
I thought of this when EVs started never had the money to start.
Good business model... (maybe ?) Wonder if is Lucrative after a year or 2 when the equipment is payed off.
what model of charging station it is? how can i find some of this on the internet? or how can i create one of this?
That extinguisher they carry is completely useless against any lithium fire never mind in that huge battery. If that thing catches on fire it'll be crazy bad.
How many miles did you get in an hour?
Hi looking at setting one up these up overseas any particular set up you’ve seen that you say is the best option.
How can I open a business like this
a lot of mobile charging nearby car right now?
With the big and ugly CCS plug connected to a NACS adaptor, be careful not to bump into it plus it puts a large load car connector, with such a long moment arm there's a possibility of damaging you car connector.
And the CCS cable can deliver way more current than the dinky NACS connection…
@@allangibson8494
Never heard of liquid cooled cables?
The NACS standard was designed by engineers to encourage EV adoption.
The CCS charging standard was created by the ICE manufactures marketing departments to discourage EV adoption. With the hope EV’s would never catch on.
In 10 years the only place you will find a CCS charger is in a museum and an electronic surplus store.
@@universeisundernoobligatio3283 Except the only place on the planet you find NACS chargers is North America.
Even Tesla’s come standard with CCS Type 2 connectors everywhere else on the planet (except China who has the incompatible GB series plugs). CCS supports three phase charging at home or business, NACS simply doesn’t. CCS also supports back feed of power from the vehicle battery to the grid (but that does require special equipment on the other side - like a solar inverter).
@@allangibson8494
Then why is every manafacture switching to NACS in North America if CCS is so great?
Yes the ICE manufactures had so much pull in Europe and Tesla was small at the time, Tesla could not fight that battle.
3 phase charging big deal , no real need for home charging, all fast charging is DC.
Read the NACS standard supports back feed of power from the vehicle battery to the grid.
Read the NACS standard supports 1000V charging.
@@universeisundernoobligatio3283 Because Tesla has the bulk of the charging infrastructure where elsewhere they have very little as independent operations and government bodies like councils put in their own international standards compliant chargers rather than the Tesla proprietary standard.
That’s the same reason Apple had to drop the Lightning connector for USB C on their phones - they got told you either go standard or go away.
This looks like at South Point parking lot in South Surrey right?
yep
Price of a gas can with 5 gallons of gas
Vs
All those batteries , and adapter cables, and the time it takes to charge
Time it takes to walk the ten miles to the service station…
Road side service costs…
Is the Van an EV ???
That van can’t possibly
use combustible fuel
Unfortunately you will have to wait until next year for the EV version of the van to be available…
How much you pay for the service? Thank you
How much does it cost to have them charge a car in emergency when car has no power?
You simply don’t fully charge the car - you put enough charge on it to get to a grid connected charger.
Bad link to company,(cost) how much you pay?
Here's the link to their website. thanks for watching. www.dmevs.com/
Wow! I never realized EVs were so convenient. Owning an EV would save me from wasting entire minutes at the gas station.
You know cars run out of gas too.
@@83RBurke And they take 3 minutes to refuel vs 30 minutes. And you can go put the gas in a can on foot and bring it back to the car. It's very transportable and convenient because there are gas stations literally everywhere roads are. A gas car can also be put in neutral and pushed without power. There's a reason you don't see electric cars running fuel out to gas cars, but the other way around is common.
@@TheeGlocktopus if your gas tank was magically filled every night and every morning you started full-how often would you worry about running out of gas?
@@83RBurke This sounds fine on paper, but the fact that an entire business exists for "mobile EV charging" tells me that it's not applicable in reality. Not to mention that even without the magic wizard filling the tank every morning, I've still yet to ever run out of gas. Why? Because it's convenient, accessible, and portable.
@@TheeGlocktopus I’ll say it’s not for everyone. If you’re (not you specifically) the type of person that cannot remember to charge your cell phone at night and struggle at work all day with a dying phone, then maybe this isn’t for you. I suggest all doubters actually talk to EV owners, I’ve had my first EV for about 6 months and I’m never going back. I do own two other gas vehicles but I only drive them now to keep the thing moving. For the average person an EV does literally everything better 99% of the time.
An ICE car would be best.
but the charging station runs on diesel which defeats the purpose of buying a ev
So are they operating in BC only? Thanks.
yes, in vancouver
why would anyone run out of charge? If you have an ev you better have a garage with a charger overnight to charge or plan your day around stopping to charge on a trip..i mean i have a tesla for 6 yrs now and NEVER HAVE RUN OUT OF JUICE...EVEN ON TRIPS..
Thank you I was thinking the same thing. I am waiting on the delivery of my EV Hummer and I have a scheduled appointment to have my home charging system installed. I dont plan on having to charge my vehicle away from home because very seldom do I drive more than 150 miles a day since retiring in 12/2023.
yikes hummer ev? why? Those have a ton of issues...good luck. I would have went rivian if you wanted a truck or polstar2 or even porsche vs hummer for the cost@@bigtee4690
Well good for you, you deserve a Klondike bar.
You would be very surprised how many first time users I know have been stranded. How many 1st time ev road trippers have greatly mis calculated their range. How many times TESLA has Mis calced their range. How many people think EV cars have a reserved 30 mile range lmao. How many people in my city live in buildings in my city and either don’t have a charger or it’s always broken. EV tech is still way behind to being a relaxing endeavor in a car esque simple minded daily user.
I am still new to EV with my Tesla and it’s sad how I still live with range anxiety. How leaving sentry mode and heat protection in my car murders the battery when I am staying a long weekend at my girlfriend’s apartment. How the supper chargers are far from civilization.
How I am planning a trip to a city whose super chargers are in the far outskirts of the city. Next to no attraction. My late afternoon (because of work) trip to this far town leaves me only 1-2 hours left in the day to enjoy the town. Instead of using that time to start my trip at a nice local restaurant, I have to eat a burrito at Wawa while I waste 45 minutes for the car to re charge.
I’d 100 percent rather pay a service like this to come to the parking lot at the restaurant and charge my car while I eat.
You have to use gas car to charge electric car what I’m missing here ? Now we waisting More Energy
What's the cost ?
$300 if you are more than 20km away
How long did it take to charge?
Max charge rate was 50kWh when I tested. thanks for watching
@@BCTeslaGuy Can you break that down in time? Did it take 30 mins - 1hr or more?
Sorry, I'm not sure what the question is. They offer several types of services. The first is to come and charge your car so you can make it home or to the nearest fast charger. In this case, you only charge for less than 30 minutes. Really depends on how close you are to the charging destination. The other service is that they will come to your location and charge your car for a predetermined time or kWh delivered. This is good for people who live in a condo or drive to work without charging. This service is suitable for those who can't charge at home and don't want to take time out of their day to go to a charger.
@@BCTeslaGuy OK..... Let me ask this how long will it take to fully charge your battery using this mobile service.?
my guess would be around 2 hrs. You would add 50kWH in the first hour and as the battery gets fulls it will taper off as it does for all charging. A real world scenario would be charging from 20-85% which would be around 50kWh. This would take 1 hour.
That really annoying audio at the back of the van was to filter out the very loud diesel generator, which we were not shown.
no diesel generator. It's basically an EV charger using la large battery bank.
Do you actually get business doing this? I have driven teslas for years for work, drive about 3000 miles a month, and I've never come close to running out of juice unexpectedly. I can literally go to the neighboring state and back with 40% range, can't imagine this business has sustainable profit margins and volume. Also, I live in south louisiana, there are almost 0 chargers.
And that charging rate is sooo slow.
Edit: Ah, I see, yep no way in hell that business is profitable, and their parent company burns millions per quarter, looks like an investor cash grab "DTMXF" is ticker if anyones curious, I'm sure theyll go out of business in some years if not sooner and I bet the CEO will somehow come out being a millionaire. They are just trying to type into investor hype around EVs lmao. This things a joke.
@ James
Yeah you got a better chance in getting robbed
In B.R. La.
Probably by a group of teens that will be , looked at as the victims
So they charge up a battery bank from the mains which results in a drop in efficiency. Then they drive to you in a van loaded up with heavy batteries to charge the battery in your EV, a further loss in efficiency. Makes sense. Good that they have a fire extinguisher just in case the whole deal catches fire.
🙄🙄🙄Orrrrrrr……. you can stop at the local KUM and GO gas station. In and out in 3 minutes. EVs are for people that say baaa baaaa ba a a 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑
Good business 2 get into hop on it ppl let everyone buy their evs.
Probably expensive
If you run out of gas in a normal car and call a tow truck to bring you some gas, it won't be cheap either. thanks for watching.
@@BCTeslaGuy why would you run out of gas… in no normal situation would that happen … even in the middle of nowhere
People run out of gas everyday.
@@BCTeslaGuy not normal people …
Hydrogen and Toyota will end the EV nonsense!
LMAO
A gas car is the way forward electric takes way too long. Unfortunately you have had the wool pulled over your eyes .
