If your EV runs out of charge:
- Pull over safely: Move to the shoulder or a safe location away from traffic, turn on hazard lights, and stay visible.
- Check remaining buffer: Most EVs have a small reserve even after showing 0%, allowing limited movement at reduced power.
- Call for roadside assistance: Many EVs come with support services that offer towing or mobile charging.
- Use mobile charging (if available): In some areas, companies provide emergency charging vans that can give you enough energy to reach a station.
- Avoid deep depletion in future: Regularly plan your trips with charging stops and avoid running the battery to empty.
Running out of charge isn’t common with proper planning — but if it happens, stay calm and follow safety steps until help arrives.
