So I previously had AAA roadside support with my ICE vehicle and used it once. But I don’t know how useful AAA would be for my new electric car? I have 5 years of roadside assistance through Hyundai.
What do you think?

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.
