Probably a portable inverter / generator might get you started, which is a tad ironic.
Wouldn't be able to provide the same amount of oomph as your wall sockets for sure, but could get you out of trouble?
It does make you wonder though what is the RACV equivalent of road side assist for an EV, maybe you can use one EV to partially charge another. I think many EVs like a Landcruiser come with a built in low power inverter. I gather the missus won't have a spare of that cable in her purse?
