It's going to take a pretty fast charger to be better than a flatbed tow. Even the fastest fast charger is only going to be 20-22 miles per hour of charge. They need to be faster than that, probably in the 50-60 mile per hour range to be faster than loading your car and driving you to the nearest charger. And, the nearest charger would need to be more than an hour awayI would assume whichever is closest. They're only trying to help you out when you've stranded yourself, not worry whether you'll lose a few hours at an L2 putting in just enough so you can drive it to the next DCFC.
Although we might see the emergence of more field charging in the coming years (onboard generator). That'll just be L2 too, but saves a flatbed load.
