How H2H Flint Works
One Unit. One County. One Mission.
Here 2 Help Foundation is building a mobile EV roadside assistance program for Genesee County — designed to serve everyone, at no cost.
The Concept
Electric vehicles are becoming more common on Michigan roads — but the roadside support infrastructure hasn't kept pace. A stranded EV driver in Genesee County today has very few options. Towing is expensive. Charging trucks are rare. And most roadside services weren't built with EVs in mind.
H2H Flint is building Unit #1: a purpose-built mobile response vehicle carrying Level 2 charging equipment, connector adapters, and basic roadside tools. When someone is stranded, we come to them.
This program is currently in development. Unit #1 is not yet operational. Our first fundraising milestone is $5,000–$6,000 — enough to equip and deploy the unit.
How a Response Works
This describes our planned response model. The program is not yet active.
Motorist Contacts H2H
A stranded EV driver calls or emails H2H Flint. We confirm their location, vehicle type, and connector type so we can bring the right equipment.
Unit #1 Responds
Our mobile unit travels to the motorist's location anywhere within Genesee County. No tow truck needed — we come to you.
Emergency Charge Delivered
We provide a Level 2 charge sufficient to get the motorist to the nearest charging station or their destination. Our goal is 20–30 miles of range — enough to get moving again.
No Cost to the Motorist
H2H Flint is a nonprofit. Roadside assistance is provided free of charge to all eligible motorists. The program is funded by donations and community support.
Why Level 2 Charging?
Level 2 charging (240V AC) is the practical choice for a mobile emergency unit. It's significantly faster than a standard 120V outlet, works with virtually every EV on the road today, and can be delivered safely from a generator-equipped vehicle.
DC fast charging (Level 3) requires infrastructure that isn't practical for a mobile unit at this stage. Level 2 delivers what a stranded motorist actually needs: enough charge to reach a full charging station.
3–5 miles/hour
Standard household outlet. Too slow for emergency response.
10–30 miles/hour
H2H Flint's planned delivery method. Fast enough to matter, practical for mobile deployment.
100–300+ miles/hour
Requires fixed infrastructure. Not practical for a mobile unit at this stage.
Connector Compatibility
Unit #1 is being built to support a wide range of EVs. We plan to carry both J1772 and NACS (Tesla-style) connectors, plus CCS1 and CHAdeMO adapters where applicable for Level 2 delivery.
Exact connector inventory will be confirmed as Unit #1 is equipped. If you're unsure whether your vehicle is compatible, contact us before we respond.
J1772
The standard Level 2 connector for most non-Tesla EVs sold in North America. Supported natively.
NACS (Tesla / CCS2)
The North American Charging Standard, now adopted by most major automakers. Supported natively or via adapter.
CCS1 (Combo)
Combined Charging System used by many EVs for DC fast charging. For Level 2 delivery, the J1772 portion of the combo port is used.
CHAdeMO
Older DC fast-charge standard used by some Nissan and Mitsubishi vehicles. Adapter availability to be confirmed.
And Sometimes, It's Not a Car.
H2H Flint's mission extends beyond four-wheeled EVs. Mobility scooters, power wheelchairs, and other battery-powered mobility equipment can also leave their users stranded — often in situations with far higher stakes.
Where our equipment and capabilities allow, we intend to assist individuals whose mobility devices need a charge or basic roadside help. This is part of our broader commitment to serving the whole community.
What H2H Is — and Isn't
Transparency matters to us. Here's an honest picture of what we're building.
H2H Flint Is…
- A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (in development)
- A planned mobile EV roadside assistance program for Genesee County
- Committed to no-cost service for all eligible motorists
- Marine veteran-led, community-focused
- Designed to serve veterans and individuals with mobility-limiting disabilities as a priority
H2H Flint Is Not…
- Not yet operational — Unit #1 is still being built and funded
- Not a commercial towing or roadside service
- Not affiliated with any automaker, charging network, or government agency
- Not able to repair vehicles or replace batteries
- Not a substitute for a full charge — we provide enough to get you moving again
Help Us Get Unit #1 on the Road
Our first fundraising milestone is $5,000–$6,000. Every dollar goes directly toward equipping Unit #1 and launching the pilot program in Genesee County.
