What should I tell roadside assistance before an EV is towed?
Recovery arrangements need to match the actual vehicle. What information helps the operator use the manufacturer’s recommended method?
EVVerity explains
The answer
Identify the vehicle and its condition
Tell the operator the exact model and whether there has been a collision, flooding, a warning or inability to select the required mode. Ask them to follow the vehicle’s towing instructions. Do not assume that rolling on its driven wheels is safe merely because that worked for a previous car.
