Abstract
A novel mobile charging device is disclosed to charge and warm stranded electric vehicles. The device comprises a multifunctional commercial truck that functions as a tow truck and a three-phase internal combustion power source for charging electric vehicles. The mobile charging device also comprises a plurality of charging ports, positioned on the sides of the truck. The charging ports are designed to accommodate any make or model of electric vehicle. Thus, the mobile charging device is useful for helping prevent electric vehicle owners from being stranded for long periods of time without battery charge.

A mobile charging device that charges a stranded electric vehicle, the mobile charging device comprising:
- a vehicle;
- an internal combustion power source;
- and
- a plurality of charging ports;
- and
- wherein the internal combustion power source provides power to the plurality of charging ports to charge and warm a stranded electric vehicle;
- wherein the vehicle is a motorized vehicle that is mobile;
- and
- further wherein the mobile charging device prevents the stranded electric vehicle from being stranded for long periods of time without battery charge.
A mobile charging device that charges a stranded electric vehicle, the mobile charging device comprising:
- a commercial truck with an enclosed cargo area;
- an internal combustion power source;
- a plurality of charging ports;
- and
- a plurality of arrow lights that blink or flash for safety;
- wherein the internal combustion power source provides power to the plurality of charging ports to charge and warm a stranded electric vehicle;
- wherein the enclosed cargo area can be raised and lowered, similar to a tow truck, to allow the stranded electric vehicle to enter and exit the enclosed cargo area;
- wherein the commercial truck comprises a chassis, which is substantially supported by approximately six wheels, and an operator's cab with windows and a steering wheel;
- wherein the internal combustion power source and the plurality of charging ports are operated from within the operator's cab, which is mounted to a front portion of the chassis;
- wherein electricity produced from an internal combustion triple phase generator is then transferred to a regulator and dispensed through the plurality of charging ports to charge an electric vehicle's batteries;
- and
- further wherein the mobile charging device prevents the stranded electric vehicle from being stranded for long periods of time without battery charge.
A method of charging a stranded electric vehicle, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a mobile charging device comprising a commercial truck with an enclosed cargo area, internal combustion power source, and multiple charging ports;
- driving the commercial truck to the stranded electric vehicle;
- securing the charging cable of the electric vehicle to the charging port of the device;
- and
- charging the electric vehicle via the device.
