[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 664963, member: 4386"] Something I had not thought of - you break down out in the bush.... [HEADING=1]Can You Tow an Electric Vehicle?[/HEADING] Yes you can. The safest way will be on a flatbed or car carrier. Otherwise, you could cause damage to the drive motor. [B]Most owner's manuals will insist your electric vehicle be towed with the wheels off the ground.[/B] Electric vehicles can experience damage to the electric motor (or motors) if towed with the wheels rolling on the ground. This is because of the way the majority of electric vehicle motors work. One way to assure your vehicle is moved properly will be by hiring an auto transport company. The other is using a local tow company and have them guarantee a flatbed is being used. [/QUOTE]
