EV Towing Guide

Electric vehicles represent the fastest-growing segment of vehicles on Atlanta's roads, but they require specialized towing knowledge that many traditional towing companies lack. Red Hook Towing is trained and equipped for safe EV towing, using flatbed trucks exclusively for electric vehicle transport. Most EVs—including all Tesla models, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5/6, Kia EV6, Chevrolet Bolt, Nissan Leaf, and Rivian trucks—cannot have any wheels on the ground during towing without risking severe damage to their electric motors, regenerative braking systems, and high-voltage battery packs. Our flatbed trucks keep all four wheels elevated, eliminating any risk to the drivetrain. We serve EV owners throughout Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Decatur and East Point with the same 24/7 availability and rapid response times as our conventional towing services. Our operators understand the additional procedures required for EVs: how to put a Tesla into tow mode, how to locate the manual door releases on vehicles with electronic door handles (critical during lockouts), and how to safely winch an EV onto a flatbed without damaging the battery enclosure or underbody aero panels. We also understand that EV drivers in Atlanta may need towing to specific destinations: the Tesla Supercharger station on Tom Hill Sr. Blvd, the Electrify America stations at the Lenox Square, or the growing network of ChargePoint and EVgo chargers around Metro Atlanta. If your EV runs out of charge on I-75 between Atlanta and Atlanta, we can tow you directly to the nearest compatible charger rather than a random repair shop. For EV owners with home charging setups, we can deliver your vehicle directly to your driveway and even help navigate tight garage clearances. As Atlanta's newest car dealerships bring more EVs to Metro Atlanta, Red Hook Towing is your local EV towing specialist.
