Sounds like a nice little business. Recharging stranded EVs instead of towing them.

There’s an app for that. SparkCharge is a company selling portable charging for EVs.
SparkCharge Bets Portable Charging Will Make EV Ownership Easier, March 8, 2022
“The service can be accessed through the company’s subscription-based app called Currently. A service vehicle comes to that spot and begins charging, adding about a mile of range every minute.”

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw some years ago: a stranded EV, being recharged by a generator driven by a gas powered engine. I would expect such rescue vehicles to actually carry a honking big battery pack, which could dump coulombs into the EV a lot faster than a generator, but I wouldn’t put it past someone to blanch at the price of the battery pack, and rig up an engine driven generator instead.

Tesla already has this. Can charge 10 cars at once.

And in Europe you can rent an EP Tender, a generator that you tow on your trip.
