There are only two things I can think of as roadside repair issues. A flat tire. Running the battery down on a road trip.
The second is only a worry if I ignore the cars prompts to stop at a charging location. Even then, itâ(TM)s supposedly got a reduced power limping mode if the battery was really low. Iâ(TM)ve yet to experience it.

The biggest issue other than a flat tire is the accessory battery. Many cars do not charge their accessory battery properly when not in use. Opel Corsa for example is one of them. It's one of the two reasons I've ever had to call roadside assistance for an EV, we had a friend's Corsa parked in the street for 2 months (she was waiting for the lease to expire but lived in a parking permit zone so she just abandoned here car near us). When she came to pick it up the car was unresponsive. The 12V battery was dead. The actual car battery pack was still in the same state of charge as when she left it.
Roadside assistance said that issue wasn't uncommon but was completely model dependent. He got that car going in 10min (it's very similar to a jump start).

Stellantis electric cars are shit. I had three of them (fool me twice - shame on me, I know), never again.
