Roadie portable EV charging station is a compact, high-power mobile charger designed to rescue electric vehicles fast and safely. It packs about 3.35 usable kilowatt hours of battery energy into a package meant for on-demand support. If your EV runs low on charge away from a plug, Roadie gives you immediate kilowatt-level energy where you are — and Bee Charged EV brings that service to your city, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
What does Roadie actually hold and push
Roadie’s hardware is built around two clear numbers you should care about. First, the battery stores 3.45 kilowatt hours total and 3.35 kilowatt hours usable. Second, the charger can deliver up to 20 kilowatts at DC voltages between 150 and 500 volts and up to 40 amps continuous. Put simply, a small but powerful pack, able to deliver high current for short rescue charges.
Quick technical snapshot
- Total battery energy 3.45 kWh and usable energy 3.35 kWh.
- Charger output 150 to 500 volts DC at up to 40 amps.
- Maximum output power 20 kW.
- Battery weight 70 pounds and charger weight 55 pounds.
- Physical size roughly 8.7 by 12.6 by 26 inches (battery module).
How does Roadie portable EV charging station work on the roadside
Roadie works by carrying stored DC energy in a battery module and converting it to the voltage and current an EV needs via the charger unit. For a roadside rescue, Bee Charged EV technicians arrive with the unit, connect to the vehicle’s fast-charge inlet where compatible, and deliver energy to add range quickly. Because usable energy is about 3.35 kWh, the device is optimized for short range boosts rather than full top-ups.
How much range will Roadie add per rescue
Range added depends on the vehicle’s efficiency. Using conservative estimates:
- If an EV averages 3 miles per kWh, 3.35 kWh adds about 10.05 miles.
- If an EV averages 4 miles per kWh, 3.35 kWh adds about 13.4 miles.
These are practical rescue numbers — enough to reach a nearby charger, a safe parking spot, or reach home on many city trips. Battery-to-vehicle energy transfer and losses mean real results vary. Bee Charged EV factors your vehicle model and local conditions when estimating expected range.
How fast can Roadie deliver energy
The charger can peak at 20 kW but the battery capacity is small relative to that power, so high-power output is typically short duration. At a hypothetical continuous 20 kW draw, 3.35 kWh would be exhausted in about 0.1675 hours, which is about 10.05 minutes. In practice, the unit’s power management, vehicle acceptance, and safety limits determine real delivery time. Expect a high-power burst for quick range, not an extended multi hour session.
What vehicles and plugs are supported
Roadie’s voltage and current ranges make it compatible with many modern EVs that accept DC charging through CCS or CHAdeMO where adapters are used. Tesla owners can use an adapter to connect via Tesla’s inlet. Compatibility varies by vehicle model and on-board charging acceptance, so Bee Charged EV confirms compatibility first and brings the correct cable and adapters.
Portable charger versus level 2 home charging
Level 2 home chargers plug into AC and deliver steady charging overnight, typically 6 to 11 kilowatts. Roadie delivers DC energy on the go and focuses on rapid, short-term range additions. Use cases differ:
- Home charging is long duration and cost efficient.
- Roadie is immediate, mobile, and grid-independent during short rescues or events.
Where Roadie makes the most sense
Roadie is ideal for several real world situations:
- Roadside rescue where an EV can’t reach a fixed charger.
- Apartment dwellers without dedicated home chargers who need occasional top ups.
- Fleet operators needing mobile support for delivery or service vehicles.
- Events and temporary venues needing pop-up charging.
- Construction sites and remote jobs where grid access is limited.
- Power outage scenarios as a temporary energy source to move vehicles.
Bee Charged EV deploys Roadie-style portable charging across every city area, so you can get help at work, at an event, or on the freeway.

What to expect from a rescue call with Roadie equipment
When Bee Charged EV arrives
- Technician checks vehicle compatibility and state of charge.
- Technician uses the appropriate cable or adapter and follows safety checks.
- Charger delivers a controlled energy pulse to add the necessary miles.
- Technician confirms you can reach your next charging point or destination.
Typical rescue adds 10 to 13 miles of range under common efficiency numbers, which often suffices to reach a public charger or get home.
Maintenance, safety, and weather resistance
Roadie-class systems are designed with safety systems and battery management to control temperature, current, and voltage. Regular maintenance includes battery health checks, connector inspections, and firmware updates. For Bee Charged EV field teams, routine inspections and controlled storage practices extend lifetime and reliability. If storage guidelines are needed, Bee Charged EV will advise best practices for seasonal or long term storage.
What about fleet use and subscriptions
For businesses and fleets, Roadie-style portable chargers can become part of a safety and uptime plan. Typical models include pay per use pricing, monthly subscriptions for guaranteed response, and fleet contracts with volume discounts. Bee Charged EV can tailor plans with transparent numbers based on expected call volume and average rescue energy per event.
