Electric Car & EV Towing in Brantford

Electric vehicles need to be handled differently than gas cars when they break down, and getting it wrong can cause thousands of dollars in drivetrain damage. Brantford Towing specializes in safe, flatbed EV towing for Teslas, hybrids, and every electric model on Brantford roads. Whether your battery has run flat on Highway 403 or your EV will not shift out of Park in a downtown parking garage, our operators know exactly how to load and secure it without dragging the wheels.

Why Electric Vehicles Need Specialized Towing

EV flatbed towing Brantford

Most electric cars cannot be flat-towed or lifted by two wheels the way a traditional gas vehicle can. Because the electric motors are connected directly to the wheels, towing an EV with its drive wheels on the road can force current back through the system and permanently damage the motor, inverter, or battery pack. Many models, including the Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt, and Ford Mustang Mach-E, also lack a true mechanical neutral, so they simply cannot be dragged safely.

That is why every EV we recover in Brantford travels on a flatbed. We winch the vehicle gently onto the deck, secure it by the wheels rather than the frame, and keep all four tires off the pavement for the entire trip. It is the only method the manufacturers themselves approve.

Electric & Hybrid Models We Tow

Our flatbed operators regularly transport:

  • Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X
  • Hybrids such as the Toyota Prius and RAV4 Prime
  • Plug-in EVs like the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt and Hyundai Ioniq
  • Luxury electrics including BMW, Audi e-tron and Polestar
  • Electric pickups and SUVs with sealed battery packs

Stranded in an Electric Vehicle? Here Is What to Do

A depleted battery or a fault that locks the car in Park can leave you stuck with no way to roll the car. Before you call, it helps to:

  • Turn on your hazard lights and move to a safe distance from traffic
  • Locate your car’s manual tow or transport mode in the owner’s manual or centre screen
  • Have your charge level and model ready so we send the right equipment
  • Never let another driver tow you with a strap or chain

Then call our roadside assistance line and we will dispatch a flatbed to your location.

FAQs – EV & Electric Car Towing Brantford

Common questions about how we tow electric and hybrid vehicles in Brantford, from charging-related breakdowns to how we protect your battery and drivetrain during transport.

Can you tow a Tesla or other EV in Brantford?
Yes. We tow every electric model on the road, including all Tesla variants, on a flatbed so the wheels never touch the pavement. Just tell us your model and location when you call.
Why can't my EV be towed with a regular wheel-lift truck?
Because the electric motor is linked to the wheels, rolling an EV on its drive wheels can send current back into the system and damage the motor and battery. A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the ground, which is the only manufacturer-approved method.
My electric car ran out of charge - can you take it to a charging station?
Absolutely. We can deliver your EV to the nearest fast charger, your home, or a dealership anywhere in Brantford and the surrounding area.
Do you tow hybrids and plug-in hybrids too?
Yes. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids like the Prius, RAV4 Prime and Hyundai Ioniq are transported on our flatbeds using the same safe, wheel-secured method.
How much does EV towing cost in Brantford?
Pricing depends on your location, the distance, and where you would like the vehicle delivered. We always provide a clear, upfront quote before we load your car – no surprises.
