Emergency Portable Power Bank Charging for EVs Malaysia MyMechanic

• Purpose: a short DC boost to get moving, not a full charge; expect enough energy to reach a nearby charger with margin.
• Connector: typically CCS2; confirm inlet access and that the charge port isn’t blocked or damaged.
• Duration: brief sessions prioritise safe relocation over 100% charging; longer charges are done at fixed sites.

• Park straight in a wide bay or shoulder with hazards on; avoid tight curves, steep cambers, or tunnel mouths.
• Keep traffic‑side doors closed; unlock the charge port and switch the car to a safe charging state per the model routine.
• If fully flat, expect a short pre‑conditioning step before DC charging begins.

• Choose mobile charge if the car is accessible, the port/HV system are healthy, and a nearby charger is reachable after a short boost.
• Choose tow if the spot is dangerous, the port is damaged/submerged, HV warnings are present, or local rules restrict roadside charging.
• Night/heavy rain or narrow shoulders tilt toward towing to a safer, lit location.

• Keep HVAC modest to reduce net load.
• Avoid repeated on‑off cycles; let the session complete to target.
• If temperatures are high, pre‑cool briefly, then reduce loads during the boost.

After the boost: route and margin

• Navigate to a reliable charger within a conservative range; avoid steep climbs that spike consumption.
• Drive smoothly at moderate speed; use regen wisely but avoid aggressive braking/accel cycles.
• On arrival, plan a longer AC/DC session and a quick health check if any warnings appeared.

• Share plate, model, connector type, current SoC (or “dead”), exact location text, and clearance/space details.
• Confirm mobile charge vs tow in writing, with ETA and destination (if towing).
• Ask for the operator’s name and vehicle plate; photograph the setup for records.

• EV‑aware triage: decide quickly between mobile top‑up and tow to a safe charger.
• Careful setup: correct connector handling, cable routing, and minimal traffic exposure.
• Clean handover: clear documentation and routing to dependable charging locations.
