Stories From AAA Members
We're always there to help AAA Members get back on the road safely.
“My disabled vehicle was in an extremely difficult location. Your technician did a fantastic job, with great professionalism, to load my vehicle and deliver it safely to its destination. Thank you!”—Richard B., California
“The technician from the Modesto branch did a great job, taking the time to change my weathered tire to a full-size spare. It took a while because my lug nuts had expanded with age. He took the time to take the tire off without any complaints. Great customer service, as well.”—Lamon H., California
Yes, you can tow and an electric car, but it’s important to keep all four wheels off the ground by using a flatbed truck or other specialized equipment to tow. Towing with traditional methods can cause expensive damage to the motor and electronics. A car’s wheels connect to the motor, and when they are on the road, their rotation can induce a current.
Yes, all AAA Membership plans cover EVs. Included towing distance varies by plan. Members get four roadside requests per year, including towing.
Yes, AAA uses flatbed tow trucks and other specialized equipment to tow EVs. One perk of using AAA is that the technician will tow you to your destination of choice, whether your home or a nearby charging station. Included towing distance varies by AAA Membership plan. Members get four roadside requests per year, including towing.
No, AAA does not provide EV charging. If you are a AAA Member and your EV runs out of charge, however, we can tow your vehicle to a charging station, within your plan’s towing distance.
Safely pull over onto the shoulder of the road, stay in your car, and call AAA Roadside Assistance at 800-222-4357.
If an EV runs out of charge on the road, it will first enter limp or turtle mode, drastically reducing its speed and power to preserve its little remaining charge. When the battery becomes fully depleted, the car will completely shut down.
If this happens to you, safely pull over, then call AAA Roadside Assistance at 800-222-4357. Be sure to mention that your car is an EV and AAA will send a flatbed truck or other specialized equipment—the safest towing option for EVs.
You might. EVs have a small, 12-volt battery, just like a gas-powered vehicle does, to help start the car and power its lights and locks. If the battery runs out of juice, you may need to jump-start it.
EVs also have a large battery pack that powers the car's electric motor (instead of gas) and keeps its wheels moving. You should never attempt to revive your EV’s high-voltage battery pack. Leave that to the pros.
Yes, all AAA Roadside Assistance services are available for EVs. That includes towing, spare tire swap, and more. Members get four roadside requests per year.
