Electric Vehicle Recovery
EV recovery on flatbed only, as manufacturers require. No towing, no drivetrain damage, no risk to the battery pack. Teslas, hybrids and all electric models transported safely to your home, dealer or charge point. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Scotland-wide.
Electric and hybrid vehicles cannot be towed with a conventional A-frame or wheel-lift. Manufacturers are explicit about this, because towing with the wheels turning can damage the motor and, in some cases, put the battery pack at risk. Every EV recovery we carry out goes on a flatbed, with all four wheels off the road, exactly as the manufacturer requires.
We regularly recover Teslas, hybrids and fully electric models from every major manufacturer, delivering to your home, a dealership, a specialist EV garage or the nearest charge point if the issue is simply a flat battery. Our drivers understand the extra care EVs need when loading and securing, including isolation points and low ground clearance on some models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my electric car be towed instead of flatbedded?
No, nearly all EV and hybrid manufacturers require flatbed-only recovery, since towing with the wheels turning can damage the motor or drivetrain. We always flatbed electric vehicles.
What if my EV has simply run out of charge?
We can transport it to the nearest suitable charge point, your home charger, or a dealership, whichever makes most sense for you.
Do you have experience with low-clearance EVs?
Yes, several EV models sit very low to the ground. Our drivers know which models need extra care when loading and use the correct ramp angle and jacking points.
