Know Jonesboro.
Jonesboro is one of two county seats of Craighead County and the fifth-largest city in Arkansas, with 78,579 residents in the 2020 census and an estimated 83,296 in 2025. It sits on Crowley's Ridge, a narrow band of higher ground rising out of the flat Mississippi Delta in the northeast corner of the state. Arkansas State University, founded in 1909, anchors the city, and St. Bernard's Regional Medical Center dates to 1900. Jonesboro is the cultural and economic center of the region, so many drivers come in from farms and smaller towns for work, shopping and care. That pattern means a lot of trips start far from town on long, flat highways, where a low battery can catch you between communities.

Three ways we help.
Jonesboro roads we cover.
Listed among the city's highways in the source article, linking Jonesboro toward Memphis. Long flat stretches invite highway speed, which drains a low battery fast.
One of the federal routes through Jonesboro, alongside US 49 and US 78. Distances between towns on these Delta routes are long, so charge before leaving.
State highways that serve the city and nearby towns. Expect fewer fast chargers outside town on these roads.
When a Jonesboro charger lets you down.
Jonesboro serves a wide rural region, and fast chargers thin out quickly once you drop off Crowley's Ridge into the flat Delta. If the station you planned on is out or busy, do not leave town on a thin battery hoping for the next county. Park somewhere legal and call; a single $175 visit is cheaper than hauling a car across Delta mileage at $10 per mile on top of the $150 base.
Jonesboro climate, by the numbers.
Jonesboro shares the humid subtropical climate of the Mid-South, with hot, humid summers and mild winters punctuated by occasional ice. The source article highlights severe storms, including tornadoes in 1968, 1973 and 2020. For EVs, summer cooling demand and spring storms are the main concerns.

Range in Jonesboro.
Park on the ridge
The city says Craighead Forest Park opened after the Young Men's Civic Club began work on its lake in 1937 and now covers 692 acres on Crowley's Ridge at 4910 South Culberhouse Road. Camping and trails there mean cars sit for long periods.
Tornado history
The source article records F4 tornadoes in 1968 and 1973 and an EF3 that struck the Mall at Turtle Creek in 2020. When warnings are issued, shelter first and call once it is safe.
Transit and travel
GOJO runs four fixed routes as of 2026, and the municipal airport has subsidized service. If your car stops near a transit stop, tell us so we can find you quickly.
Courthouse on the high point
When Jonesboro became county seat, the highest point in town was chosen for a courthouse, though construction was delayed for years. The first building burned in 1869. Today the Craighead County Courthouse anchors downtown, near the West Washington Avenue Historic District, and both draw visitors who park on surrounding streets.
Campus and museum
Arkansas State University traces back to 1909. Its museum covers 21,000 square feet of history, archaeology and natural-history exhibits on Northeast Arkansas and the Delta, and a New York Institute of Technology medical school operates in Wilson Hall on campus. Game days and graduations fill campus lots, so tell us the building nearest your car.
Hospital roots
St. Bernard's Regional Medical Center was founded in 1900 by Olivetan Benedictine Sisters, the same year the Grand Leader opened as the city's first department store. Medical campuses are busy around the clock; if your car stops in a hospital lot, give us the garage or entrance.
Tornado memory
Jonesboro has been hit by violent tornadoes, including an F4 in 1968 that killed at least 34 people and destroyed 164 homes, and another F4 in 1973 that caused about $60 million in damage. During warnings, shelter first; we will come once they lift.
Retail on the move
Indian Mall, named for the former ASU mascot, was once the main shopping destination in Northeast Arkansas until the Mall at Turtle Creek opened; it was demolished in 2012. Retail now clusters around the newer mall, so name the store you are near.
Hypothetical, on real roads.
Illustrations only. Not records of real jobs.
I-555 southbound toward Memphis
Ford Mustang Mach-E
Imagine a commuter leaving town at highway speed with less charge than the trip needed. The driver would take the next exit, stop safely and call. With 25 to 50 miles added, the car could reach a fast charger before the long flat run south.
Craighead Forest Park campground
Chevrolet Silverado EV
Picture campers packing up after a weekend at the lake to a truck that will not start. The likely culprit would be a drained auxiliary battery from camp lights. An imagined scenario, not a past call.

Jonesboro, answered.
01Do you cover Arkansas State University?
We take calls across Jonesboro. Campus lots may have access rules, so tell us the lot or building.

We can, once you are parked clear of the lanes. Rural calls take longer, and we give an honest window.

Expect $175 for 25 to 50 miles of driving. Both a jump and range in one trip cost $195.
04Can you change a flat?
Yes, $130 with a usable spare.
05Do you tow?
When a charge cannot fix it, we book a flatbed through partners: $150 to hook up, then $10 per mile to the shop you choose.
