Electric Vehicle Towing London
Electric vehicles require specialist knowledge when it comes to towing and recovery. They cannot simply be dragged or towed with wheels on the ground. Cheap Tow Trucks provides specialist electric vehicle towing in London, using flatbed recovery trucks and EV-aware operators who understand the unique requirements of battery-powered vehicles.
Why EVs Need Specialist Towing
Unlike conventional cars, most electric vehicles cannot be towed with their driven wheels on the ground. This is because the electric motors are directly connected to the wheels. Towing an EV in drive mode can damage the motor or regenerative braking system, and some EVs will detect towing and apply braking automatically.
Our electric vehicle towing London team uses flatbed trucks to carry EVs with all four wheels off the ground, eliminating any risk of drivetrain damage during recovery.
