As electric and hybrid vehicles become more common, drivers require towing options that are specifically designed to accommodate their unique features. At Dick’s Towing, Inc., we offer flatbed towing services to make sure your EV or hybrid car is transported safely and in line with manufacturer recommendations. Whether it’s a roadside breakdown or a scheduled service tow, we understand what your vehicle needs.
Why Flatbed Towing Is Right for EVs
Unlike traditional cars, most electric vehicles should never be towed with a wheel lift. Dragging the wheels can damage the powertrain, regenerative braking system, or battery components. Many EV manufacturers, including Tesla and Nissan, state clearly that flatbed towing is the only safe way to move their vehicles. Our trained drivers follow those guidelines exactly.
Flatbed towing lifts the entire vehicle off the ground. This prevents any part of the drivetrain from turning while in motion. It’s also helpful for hybrids, which may still have sensitive gas-electric systems that react poorly to traditional towing. Our flatbeds are equipped with low-angle ramps to ensure smooth loading, even for vehicles with low ground clearance.
Our Team Knows the Right Steps
Transporting modern vehicles takes more than just a flatbed. It takes knowledge and care. We take the time to check tow eyelet locations, lock out suspension settings if needed, and always avoid drag or tilt that could harm your car. Whether you’re driving a Chevy Bolt, a Toyota Prius, or a high-end EV, we bring the right tools and experience.
We also understand that situations involving EV towing often come with added stress. Whether your battery is dead, your system has an error message, or the vehicle simply won’t start, our team shows up ready to help and handle the process without causing damage.
