Can tow trucks charge electric cars?

I’ve been thinking about buying an electric car for my next car in order to become more eco-friendly, but I’m concerned about the possibility of losing power without a charging station nearby. If I get stranded on the side of the road, can a tow truck charge my electric car?

One great aspect of investing in an
electric car
is that the technology is always changing and developing. One of those developments is some towing companies offering roadside charging as part of their
roadside assistance
services.
Getting a charge roadside would eliminate the need to tow your car to the nearest charging station, as many car-owners would like to avoid the need to
tow a car
at all costs.
To ensure that your car is always taken care of, getting on the right
car insurance
is essential. Sign up with the
