Driving conditions in Tacoma
Most Tacoma calls come from everyday driving: a longer-than-planned commute, a public charger that is out of service, or a car that sat for days and woke up low. A short mobile DC session usually adds enough range to reach the next working station.
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.
