Why EVs Need a Flatbed
Most electric vehicles should not be towed with their wheels on the ground. When the wheels turn, the motors can make power and heat, even when the car is off. That can damage the motors or electronics.
Towing Squad uses Flatbed Towing for EVs. The car rides on the deck, so nothing turns on the way to the shop.
EVs We Tow

- Audi e-tron and other luxury EVs
- Rivian trucks and SUVs, plus Ford electric models

Common Reasons for an EV Tow
- The battery ran out of charge.
- It is stuck in park.
- A crash or flat tire. Many EVs have no spare.
- A warning light or software problem.
- The car is stuck on grass or a curb.
If your EV is stuck on a slope or soft ground, ask about a Winch Out first.
EV Towing in Allen and Collin County
Collin County has a lot of EVs on the road, and plenty of charging stations along US-75, SH-121 and the Dallas North Tollway. When a car dies before it reaches a charger, we can tow it to the nearest one, your home or a service center.
Many EVs need to be put in tow or transport mode before loading. Have your key or phone app ready, and our driver will help.
How We Load an Electric Car
- We put the car in tow mode when possible.
- We winch it onto the flatbed slowly.
- We strap each wheel and avoid the battery pack.

How to Get an EV Ready for a Tow
Most EV makers, including Tesla, say an electric car should ride on a flatbed and should not be towed with its wheels turning. Many EVs also have a tow or transport mode that lets the car roll onto the deck.
- Check your owner manual or app for transport mode.
- Tell dispatch the make, model and battery level.
- If the 12-volt battery is dead, the car may not unlock or shift. Tell us so the driver brings the right gear.
We tow EVs from homes, apartment lots, charging stations and roadsides across Allen, including the chargers near Watters Creek and Allen Premium Outlets.
