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.

Driving conditions in Detroit

Detroit 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

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

What to expect

What happens when you request EV towing in Detroit

    You call or book online

    Share your exact spot on I-75, I-94 and I-96, or the nearest landmark such as Detroit Financial District, your vehicle and the battery percentage.

  2. 2

    Dispatch confirms

    We confirm your connector, the price and an arrival estimate for Detroit before a unit is sent.

  3. 3

    A technician drives to you

    Average arrival is under 45 minutes. Keep your phone on so the technician can reach you.

    Your EV is loaded

    Wheels-off-the-ground flatbed loading, transport mode on, and delivery to the destination you choose.

  5. 5

    The technician confirms the car is ready to drive, or explains the next step if it is not.

Tell dispatch

  • Your location in Detroit: address, exit, mile marker or cross-street
  • Year, make and model of your EV
  • Battery % and any warning on the dashboard
  • Garage level and height clearance, if inside

Stay safe while you wait

  • Hazard lights on; move off live lanes if the car still creeps
  • On a highway shoulder, wait behind the barrier if it is safe
  • Keep your phone charged and your line free for our call
  • In immediate danger, call 911 first

When towing is the better answer

Towing is the service on this page. If the car only needs energy or a 12V boost, dispatch will tell you, so you do not pay for a tow you do not need.
