Silent Power and EV Roadside Charging for Recovery Fleets
Tow trucks and roadside assistance vehicles need power for winches, lighting, jump-starting, and increasingly emergency EV charging. Zeliox delivers silent 240V from a ute or recovery vehicle, including enough AC charge to get a stranded EV to the nearest charger without a flatbed.
A Flat EV Should Not Need a Flatbed
Stranded EVs currently require a tow to the nearest charger which is expensive, slow, and frustrating for the driver. Recovery operators need a way to deliver emergency charge at the roadside from a standard service vehicle, while also powering winches, lighting, and diagnostic gear without idling.

Emergency AC Charge From a Standard Recovery Vehicle
Zeliox delivers 240V AC from a recovery ute or service truck — enough for emergency EV charging at the roadside, plus silent power for winches, scene lighting, and diagnostic equipment. No special vehicle required, no generator noise, and no flatbed for a flat battery.

- Silent Operation: 0 dB at roadside
- Standard Vehicle: Fits recovery utes
- Zero Exhaust: No fumes for driver or crew
- Rapid Deployment: No generator setup
Get EVs to the charger. Not the tow yard.
The Zeliox Advantage
Roadside recovery is changing. Ten years ago, a jump-start and a tow covered most callouts. Today, recovery operators are dealing with EVs that have run out of charge, requiring a flatbed when a few kilometres of range would get the driver to a charger. Flatbeds are expensive to run and slow to deploy — and they are the wrong tool for a problem that needs a few kilowatt-hours, not a lift. Zeliox in a recovery vehicle delivers emergency 240V AC charge to a stranded EV — enough to reach the nearest charger under its own power. For conventional callouts, the system runs winches, scene lighting, and diagnostic tools without idling the truck. Silent operation matters at 2 am in a residential street as much as it does on a highway shoulder.

Frequently asked questions
How much range can Zeliox add to a stranded EV?
A fully charged Zeliox system can deliver enough AC charge for an EV to reach a nearby charging station — typically several kilometres of range depending on vehicle efficiency and system capacity.
Can the same unit power recovery tools and EV charging?
Yes. The Zeliox system provides 240V for winches, scene lighting, and diagnostic gear on conventional callouts, and can also deliver emergency AC charge to EVs when needed.
