RAC charges up

Date: 19 May 2014

The RAC has launched its first mobile electric charging system to cater for EVs.

One of the firm's patrol vehicles has been equipped with an EV rescue portable fast-charge unit, which can deliver around 15 miles of range to a stricken vehicle in less than half an hour.

Equivalent to "a gallon of electricity", the RAC believes this should be sufficient to get the driver home safely or to the nearest charging point. 

The 5kW unit, which is capable of completely recharging an electric vehicle's battery in less than four hours, according to the RAC, is going into service in Birmingham, which the firm pinpointed due to its well established charging infrastructure.
