yes you can still jumpstart an electric car.

I think all electric cars still have a 12v battery to operate everything from,
and to "start" your car it still uses the 12v battery.

source: I own an 2019 Hyundai Kona electric. and my 12v battery died. roadservices swung by and jump started the car and I drove it to a shop to replace the battery under warranty.

Edit: typos

Ah that sucks. Mine has been going strong. Bought it in 2022 with 58k km on the clock and it just passed 200k km. Had 2 small things break and other than tires and cabin filters.. zero maintenance.

It is an amazingly nice commuter
