Not all charging stations on ChargePeer are grid-tied. Our mobile VTR (Vehicle-to-Rescue) units are battery-powered — they carry their own energy to your location. Until today, there was no way to know how much charge a VTR unit had left before dispatching it. You booked, the unit arrived, and you hoped it had enough range to get you going.

That uncertainty is gone. Every booking card at /bookings now shows real-time battery information for mobile VTR units — a small battery icon followed by the current battery percentage in monospace text. For a mobile unit, you will see the battery icon with its charge percentage next to it.

The battery level is sourced from backend fleet tracking. When a booking involves a mobile unit, the system matches the unit to return its current battery level.

For stations that are not mobile — home ports and business hubs connected to the grid — battery level does not apply. Instead, the booking card displays a vehicle type badge: a subtle gray pill showing the provider type ("home", "business") in a compact badge.

The two states are mutually exclusive and clearly differentiated. Mobile VTR units always show battery percentage. Stationary stations always show the type badge.

Under the hood, booking responses fetch charger metadata and compute battery availability dynamically for active mobile units.

This is a small visual change with meaningful situational awareness. When you request a mobile unit, knowing its battery level helps you make an informed decision.
