Depending on your insurance, ambulance and emergency charges can be either rather high copay or only % covered, and are NEVER cheap on their face.
My wife drove me to the emergency room on a 3am Sunday morning when I felt like someone was pushing a golf ball out through my ribs and I had my gall bladder out that week. $750 copay for ambulance service.
I am aware that the ambulance is not free in the US, but it's quite hard to comprehend I guess. Especially in an emergency, I wouldn't think of anything other than calling one, driving to hospital myself wouldn't even cross my mind.
Yes, but you're talking about a maybe once in a lifetime event here (need to rush to the hospital, but you just got home with your EV on 1% battery). Just eat the ambulance bill and curse your bad luck.
