Electric car recovery FAQs
Why do electric cars need flatbed recovery?
Most EVs can't be conventionally towed with wheels on the ground because it can damage the motor and regenerative braking system. Electric car breakdown recovery is done on a flatbed so the vehicle is fully supported.
Can you recover an EV with a flat or depleted battery?
Yes — if your electric car has run out of charge or won't move, we provide electric car breakdown recovery to the nearest suitable charge point, garage, or destination of your choice, 24/7.
