I just don't see an EV failing to operate under its own power unless it was involved in a wreck or some other unlikely failure. I wouldn't want to pay to have it towed 100 miles, but then again it would be a minor expense compared to whatever repairs it would require at that point.

I've got a trailer capable of car hauling, so this is a moot point for me.

For cars that can operate under their own power, it's a minor expense to send someone out to pick it up while dropping off the loaner. Enterprise car rentals does this. They used to pay my sister next to nothing to drive a car out to a customer. I think she had to take a taxi back.
