What did you do ?
Did you call your breakdown service ?
As far as I am aware - EV's cannot be towed ....
If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

I have an E Niro and this can be towed with the front wheels off the ground. The electronic handbrake can be released manually. I would imagine other makes are similar as long as the drive wheels are off the ground.2

You can actually put them in drive, tow them and recharge them via regen, but it isn't recommended.1 -
I have never managed to do it, but some breakdown serviced can change your car enough till get you to the nearest rapid charger..1
