What is all this whining about tow trucks and electric cars? There are thousands of electric cars in Seattle. The most popular one is called a "Smart Car". They have been around for at least ten years. I have NEVER seen one being towed.
I guess if you know yourself well enough that you don't trust your ability to plan your trips and read an odometer or a charge gauge then the electric car is not for you. You are probably the same dumb ass blocking traffic with your gas powered car when you run out of gasoline.
It all works out in the end...stupid people pay more and don't know why.

Its not just the towing. If a gasoline engine runs out of gas, I can just put more gas in and be back on the road. If I am in the red zone in charge, I am stuck for 30 min to an hour while I wait to recharge.
I also wonder about auxilliary equipment. Your heater and AC will run exclusively off the battery. So do your headlights. All these can drain your battery that much faster
