My EV doesn’t have a spare tire. So I have been considering it. I won’t run out of gas. But I might run out of charge.

If you have T-Mobile, you get AAA free for a year up to 4 people. Not sure if it’s a promo but I just signed up and got the deal then my local AAA said I can add 3 more members to my account for free.

Just a couple of notes about AAA. Unless you pay extra for the “plus” plan, the included towing is very limited. You get 3 miles, and with that limit, you don’t get much choice as to the destination. w/r/t towing an EV, I would also be concerned that they wouldn’t know which cars require a flatbed or dolly. Maybe they do, but I it wouldn’t exactly surprise me if they didn’t.

AAA is never worth it.

If you have tmobile, AAA is free for a year too

My EV came with 3 years of free roadside assistance so definitely not worth paying for AAA if your EV came with it.

Tires are the number one roadside failure.

A lot of EV makers throw in free roadside because range anxiety is very real and they need positive adoption rates

I used AAA for a tow when my 12v battery failed so yes.

T-Mobile users get a year free of AAA, in case you weren’t aware :)

My first car was a 20-year-old Datsun 280z that my parents handed down to me. I had to call in several times on it. Then I drove a Saturn for the next 25 years. I had to call in several times on it as well. I’ve also called in when riding with family and friends for their vehicles. I just recently bought a Tesla. Don’t expect to need to call in on it anytime soon.

We have had AAA over forty years. An EV is just as likely to have a flat tire, and it is good to have AAA if the battery goes to zero.

AAA offers jump starts, spare tire changes, lock out service, and tow service. So it is still useful for EVs. Run low on range. Just tow it to the closest charger or if you’re within tow radius tow it home. A tow alone is worth the $100 you pay per year.

Hyundai roadside is all contracted out to vendors. Some areas it is AAA. But the difference between contracted third party calls and AAA direct is that the contracted calls only do what is listed on the call. So if you call in saying you have a flat tire only to find out you don’t have a spare, you will have to wait for Hyundai to resubmit for tow service. With AAA they can tow the vehicle on the spot as long as you still have the miles.

Just spend the money. The membership pays for itself. Plus you can get 10% off at NAPA.

It’s a total waste of money, until you need it!

I been a AAA member for over 30 years, I’m certain they lost money years ago, but life has improved, drive better rigs, they probably making money off me now somewhat. My EV came with free towing as long as warranty good. We had fail on first long road trip and had to be towed to charger. GM paid $807 to move me less than 10 miles. I would have used AAA if I didn’t have GM one

I have it and Onstar. I ran out of charge and called both. Same tow guy responded to both of them. Can’t say there was a diff. GM paid for it no problem. $345
