THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN IT JUST WON'T GO

Wouldn't the loss of power from the 12v battery be worse (and much more common as it's just a lead/acid battery) as that powers most of the controls and computer?

hamburger and mushroom for me. Wait.

HAMBURGER AND MUSHROOM FOR ME!

Hamburger is definitely an underrated pizza topping, especially when you're feeling like meat but not Italian.

My understanding is that for at least most EV's, as long as there is 12V power it should let you put it into a 'tow mode'. This unlocks all the wheels and let's it be rolled (at low speed) onto a flatbed. If the 12v battery is dead too, a jump pack or jumper cables can be used to provide charge to it.

Being the owner of two EV’s I can assure you there are producers for putting them into neutral for an extended period for towing. Or more accurately, for loading on a roll back.

AND STOP SHOUTING AT US!!

I'm just guessing that N = neutral will just disable the regen function to allow for towing.

My electric golf cart has a switch...

That's what I'm saying the chance of the drive battery being just randomly completely dead is not only less likely than the 12v battery but also less of an issue as without a jumper pack you really are dead in the water where as if you only had power from the 12v you have control of the vehicles systems you just can't use the motor.
