Totally with you on that portable charger idea—smart move. Software updates help, sure, but they're not foolproof. Honestly, having roadside assistance coverage saved me big-time once... worth every penny for peace of mind alone.
Portable chargers are handy, no doubt, but I'm curious—has anyone actually had success with one in a real pinch? I've heard mixed stories about charging speeds and compatibility issues. Roadside assistance is definitely a lifesaver though... just make sure your coverage specifically mentions EVs. Some policies still lag behind on that front, and you don't wanna find out the hard way when you're stuck on the side of the road at midnight (been there, done that).
I've had mixed luck with portable chargers myself—worked fine once, but another time it barely gave me enough juice to reach the next station. Curious if anyone's tried those mobile charging services that come to you... worth it or nah?
I've had similar experiences with portable chargers—sometimes they're lifesavers, other times not so much. Honestly, those mobile charging services seem promising, but I've heard mixed reviews from friends. One buddy mentioned it was pretty convenient when he got stuck downtown late at night; they showed up quick and got him enough charge to reach home comfortably. But another friend said the wait time was ridiculous, and by the time they arrived, he could've already called a tow.
Personally, I'd lean toward giving them a shot if you're in a pinch and your usual backup fails. Still, it might be smart to check their coverage area and response times first... nothing worse than paying extra just to sit around waiting forever. Has anyone actually compared costs between these services and traditional roadside assistance? Curious if it's worth the premium or if it's mostly hype.
Yeah, comparing costs would be helpful—I wonder how these mobile charging services stack up long-term vs. a good roadside assistance plan. Anyone here done the math or tracked their own experiences over time?
