The Globe and Mail Published March 7, 2021 Hannibal Hanschke/Reuters When a car runs out of gasoline on the road, a service vehicle can deliver enough fuel to help the car get to a gas station. CAA and other roadside assistance services do this. For battery-electric vehicles, what comparable service is possible? What form of amps-in-a-can will replace a few litres of gasoline in a container? Right now, in most of Canada, if you run out of juice in an electric car, you’re stuck with getting a tow. Most roadside assistance services, including CAA, will tow you to the nearest charger.
