Driving conditions in Chicago

Chicago winters cut EV range noticeably. Cold batteries hold less usable energy, cabin heating draws extra power and DC charging slows until the pack warms up. If your range estimate drops faster than expected on a cold morning, call before you hit 0%; it is quicker to top up than to recover a fully drained car.

How it works

Request towing. Share the location, destination and vehicle details.
Transport mode. The operator follows the manufacturer’s tow or transport mode procedure.
Flatbed delivery. All four wheels off the ground to the destination you choose.
