About EV towing
Most electric vehicles should not be towed with drive wheels on the ground. Their motors can generate current and overheat, and improper hook points can damage the battery pack. ChargePatrol arranges flatbed towing with EV-aware handling.
If the issue is simply a low battery, dispatch will usually recommend mobile charging first because it is faster and usually cheaper than a tow.
