3 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 2 , wherein the power delivery subsystem is configured to supply Level 2 and/or Level 3 charging to the EV.

4 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of wheels are movable between an extended position and a retracted position.

5 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 4 , wherein the drive system is configured to move the plurality of wheels between the extended position and the retracted position based on wireless communications received from the wireless controller.

6 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 4 , wherein when the plurality of wheels are in the extended position, the plurality of wheels suspend the charging station housing above a ground.

7 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 6 , wherein when the plurality of wheels are in the retracted position, at least a portion of the charging station housing makes contact with the ground.

8 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of wheels are pivotally connected with the charging station housing.

9 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of wheels pivot between the extended and retracted positions.

10 . A mobile electronic vehicle (EV) charging station comprising:

a charging station housing;

a battery-based power source;

a plurality of charging bays integral with the charging station housing, wherein each of the plurality of charging bays are configured to supply Level 2 and/or Level 3 charging to an EV from the battery-based power source; and

a drive system configured to self-propel the charging station housing based on wireless communications received from a wireless controller.

11 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 10 , wherein the wireless controller is a hand-held device.

12 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 10 , wherein the charging station housing is movable between a raised position and a lowered position.

13 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 12 , further comprising one or more hydraulic pistons to raise the charging station housing to the raised position and lower the charging station housing to the lowered position.

14 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 13 , wherein in the raised position, the charging station housing is suspended above a ground and in the lowered position, at least a portion of the charging station housing contacts the ground.

15 . The mobile EV charging station of claim 14 , wherein the charging station housing includes lower rails configured to form a barrier to prevent animals and/or weather elements from getting underneath the charging station housing when in the lowered position.

16 . A method of transporting an electronic vehicle (EV) charging station comprising:

providing a self-propelled EV charging station that is configured to supply Level 2 and/or Level 3 charging to one or more electronic vehicles (EVs);

loading the self-propelled EV charging station into a cargo area of a transport vehicle by driving, using a wireless controller, the self-propelled EV charging station from an ingress location up a ramp of the transport vehicle to the cargo area; and

unloading the self-propelled EV charging station from the cargo area of the transport vehicle by driving, using the wireless controller, the self-propelled EV charging station down the ramp to an egress location.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the self-propelled EV charging station is movable between a raised position suspended above a ground and a lowered position in which at least a portion of the self-propelled EV charging station makes contact with the ground.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the self-propelled EV charging station is movable between the extended position and the retracted position based on wireless communications received from the wireless controller.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein in the raised position, the self-propelled EV charging station is suspended above the ground by a plurality of wheels.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein in the lowered position, the plurality of wheels are retracted so that at least a portion of the self-propelled EV charging station makes contact with a ground.

21 . The method of claim 20 , wherein loading includes (i) moving the plurality of wheels to the extended position prior to driving the self-propelled EV charging station up the ramp and (ii) moving the plurality of wheels to the retracted position upon the self-propelled EV charging station reaching the cargo area, and wherein unloading includes (i) moving the plurality of wheels to the extended position prior to driving the self-propelled EV charging station down the ramp and (ii) moving the plurality of wheels to the retracted position upon the self-propelled EV charging station reaching the egress location.
