Most likely you get towed to the nearest charger on a flat-bed truck. But portable chargers (with batteries or diesel generators) on the back of trucks or vans also exist.
Some EVs also support power output (V2x) from their charge ports, allowing you to charge up one vehicle from another.
- numpad0 3y agoWhat exactly is the reason the car shouldn't be towed for regen? It seems a dead EV can just be towed to the midpoint between origin and the nearest charging station, then can be driven to the station using regen'd charge.
- Reason077 3y agoIf the EV is truly dead then you may not even be able to put it in Drive mode until it’s plugged in, so regen wouldn’t be possible. But sure, assuming you have enough power to put it in drive, there’s no reason that you can’t do this. There’s YouTube videos where people have tried it successfully. My understanding is that manufacturers don’t support or recommend this method, though.
