Other than putting on a spare for a flat tire, what sort of "roadside repairs" are people performing in 2026? There's not much on any modern car (gas or electric) that can be fixed by the side of the road. It's not 1965 and you aren't fiddling with a carburetor anymore.

Besides tyres, starter battery and running out of fuel, the main roadside repairs are: timing belts, turbochargers, and automatic gearbox failures plus engine cooling issues. Remember that running out of fuel can damage eg the fuel pump, which can also require a repair. Not true for an EV
