Electric vehicle rescue system
An electrical vehicle (EV) rescue vehicle includes a mobile platform, which further includes a winch and a ramp. The mobile platform of the EV rescue vehicle is deployable for retrieving a disabled EV (a “rescued vehicle”) thereon with the winch and the ramp and for transportation of the disabled EV. A charging unit is associated with said mobile platform for connecting and charging of the disabled EV, either on a fixed location or during transport. A systems analysis module can be included with the system for testing a functionality of systems and components of the disabled EV and providing results of the testing to customers. The mobile platform can be provided as an EV rescue vehicle in a form of a trailer pulled by another vehicle or integrated with another vehicle (e.g., a truck). The EV rescue vehicle can also carry passengers associated with the disabled EV when the disabled EV is being transported, charged, and/or analyzed by the EV rescue vehicle.
1. A system for electric car rescue, said system comprising:
a mobile platform including a winch and a ramp, said mobile platform deployable for retrieving an electric vehicle thereon with said winch and said ramp for transportation of said electric vehicle; and
a charging unit associated with said mobile platform for connecting to said electric vehicle and for recharging said electric vehicle.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein said mobile platform comprises a trailer pulled by another vehicle.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein said another vehicle is adapted to carry passengers associated with said electric vehicle as said electric vehicle is being charged by said charging unit.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein said mobile platform is integrated with another vehicle.
5. The system of claim 4 wherein said another vehicle is adapted to carry passengers associated with said electric vehicle as said electric vehicle is being charged by said charging unit.
6. The system of claim 1 further comprising a systems analysis module for testing of a functionality of systems and components of said electric vehicle, wherein said systems analysis module connects to and electrically communicates with said electric vehicle.
7. The system of claim 6 wherein said systems analysis module communicates with a printing unit to render a report indicative of a result of said testing of said functionality of systems and components of said electric vehicle.
8. The system of claim 6 wherein said systems analysis module communicates wirelessly to a remote server through a wireless network to transmit data and results of said testing of said functionality of systems and components of said electric vehicle.
9. A system for electric car rescue, said system comprising:
a truck including a mobile platform further comprising a winch and a ramp, said mobile platform deployable for retrieving an electric vehicle thereon with said winch and said ramp for transportation of said electric vehicle; and
a charging unit associated with said mobile platform for connecting to said electric vehicle and for recharging said electric vehicle during transportation of said electric vehicle on said mobile platform.
10. The system 9 of claim wherein said mobile platform is integrated with another vehicle.
11. The system of claim 10 wherein said another vehicle is adapted to carry passengers associated with said electric vehicle as said electric vehicle is being charged by said charging unit.
12. The system of claim 9 further comprising a systems analysis module for testing of a functionality of systems and components of said electric vehicle, wherein said systems analysis module connects to and electrically communicates with said electric vehicle.
13. The system of claim 12 wherein said systems analysis module communicates with a printing unit to render a report indicative of a result of said testing of said functionality of systems and components of said electric vehicle.
14. The system of claim 12 wherein said systems analysis module communicates wirelessly to a remote server through a wireless network to transmit data and results of said testing of said functionality of systems and components of said electric vehicle.
15. A system for electric car rescue, said system comprising:
a mobile platform including a winch and a ramp, said mobile platform deployable for retrieving an electric vehicle thereon with said winch and said ramp for transportation of said electric vehicle;
a charging unit associated with said mobile platform for connecting to said electric vehicle and for recharging said electric vehicle; and
a systems analysis module for testing of a functionality of systems and components of said electric vehicle, wherein said systems analysis module connects to and electrically communicates with said electric vehicle.
16. The system of claim 15 wherein said mobile platform comprises at least one of a trailer pulled by another vehicle or is integrated with another vehicle.
17. The system of claim 16 wherein said another vehicle is adapted to carry passengers associated with said electric vehicle as said electric vehicle is being charged by said charging unit.
