Electric Vehicle (EV) Towing Services in Georgia

Understanding Electric Vehicles and Towing

What Makes EV Towing Different?

Electric vehicles differ from traditional combustion engine vehicles in several ways. Key among these differences is their powertrain. The electric motor and battery pack in an EV are critical components that need special attention during towing. Unlike gas-powered vehicles, EVs don't have a traditional transmission, so towing them requires a different approach to avoid damaging the electric motor or battery system.

The Importance of Proper EV Towing Techniques

When an EV needs to be towed, it’s essential to use a method that protects its intricate electrical systems. Flatbed towing is the most recommended method for EVs. This technique involves placing the entire vehicle on a flatbed trailer, ensuring all four wheels are off the ground. This method is preferred as it prevents potential damage to the electric motor, which could occur if the car is towed with any wheels rolling on the ground.
