SOS eCharging launches mobile EV charging service to address range anxiety in Upstate South Carolina
February 20, 2025
SOS eCharging announced the launch of its innovative mobile electric vehicle (EV) charging service, the first of its kind in Upstate South Carolina. By providing convenient, on-demand charging directly to EV owners, SOS eCharging addresses range anxiety, one of the most significant barriers to EV adoption, and supports the region’s transition to sustainable transportation.
Meeting a Growing Need in the EV Market
South Carolina is at the forefront of the EV market’s rapid evolution, spurred by increasing affordability, accessibility, and legislative support, including initiatives like the SC EV Economic Development Initiative. However, the pace of EV adoption is outstripping infrastructure development, particularly in rural areas, where public charging stations are scarce.
A Consumer Reports study revealed that 32% of potential EV buyers cite a lack of charging infrastructure as a key deterrent. SOS eCharging fills this gap, empowering EV owners with flexible and reliable charging options.
“EV adoption is growing rapidly, but infrastructure challenges are holding many potential owners back,” said Don Mills, President and Founder of SOS eCharging. “We are committed to eliminating range anxiety by bringing the power directly to the customer. Our mobile charging solution ensures that EV owners in Upstate South Carolina can drive with confidence, knowing that a charge is always within reach.”
Revolutionary Mobile Charging Solution
The company’s fleet of Ford F-350 trucks, equipped with Pro Power Onboard technology, offers a mobile and scalable charging solution:
- Level 3 Fast Charging: Delivers up to 50kW for rapid recharging.
- Dual Level 2 Charging: Powers two vehicles simultaneously at 25kW each.
- Service Radius: Covers a 50-mile radius of Downtown Greenville.
This innovative solution alleviates range anxiety and supports EV owners in rural and underserved communities.
Key Features of SOS eCharging:
- On-Demand and Scheduled Charging: Conveniently book immediate or planned charging via the SOS eCharging app.
- Enhanced Services: Real-time battery health updates, 10-point vehicle inspections, and proactive maintenance insights.
- AI-Optimized Scheduling: Intelligent algorithms ensure timely and efficient service delivery, reducing wait times.

Driving Economic and Environmental Benefits
The mobile charging service contributes to the state’s economic development by enhancing EV appeal and accessibility, particularly in areas with limited infrastructure. By supporting the shift to sustainable transportation, SOS eCharging aligns with local and federal goals for reducing carbon emissions.
“The transition to electric vehicles is not just about innovation—it’s about sustainability and economic growth,” said Mack Whittle, CFO and Co-Founder of SOS eCharging. “By expanding charging accessibility, SOS eCharging supports local businesses, enhances energy independence, and helps reduce carbon emissions. Our mobile charging model ensures that EV ownership is more practical and convenient, driving both environmental progress and economic opportunity across Upstate South Carolina.”
