Electric Vehicle (EV) Towing in Phoenix, AZ
Electric Vehicle (EV) Towing in Phoenix, AZ – Safe Transport to the Nearest Charging Station
Freeway Towing & Storage safely transports Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Polestar, and hybrid vehicles across the Valley. We do not provide mobile charging — we tow your EV to the nearest charging station, service center, or repair shop with flatbeds and professional dollie systems.
EV drivetrains and battery systems require specific towing procedures. Improper two-wheel towing can overheat components or damage the undercarriage. Our team follows manufacturer-aligned practices using flatbeds as the primary method and In The Ditch® Speed Dollies or Collins® Dollies when a wheel-lift is necessary. If you’re stranded on I-10, I-17, Loop 101/202, or surface streets, we’ll get your EV transported safely.
Why EVs Need Specialized Towing
- Integrated motors, regenerative braking, and battery packs can be damaged by dragging.
- Low ground clearance and delicate aero panels require careful loading angles.
- Software states (Park/Hold) must be properly released (Transport/Tow Mode).
Out of Charge? Here’s What We Do
- Dispatch nearest unit: TowBook selects the closest qualified flatbed or wheel-lift with dollies.
- Secure and transport: We load your EV safely and secure the wheels, suspension, and tie-down points.
- Deliver where you choose: Nearest public charging station, Tesla Service Center, trusted repair facility, or your home charger.
Note: We do not offer on-site/mobile EV charging. We specialize in damage-free transport to a charger or service destination.

EV Towing FAQs
Do you provide mobile EV charging?
No. We specialize in safe, damage-free transport to the nearest charging station, service center, repair shop, or your home.
Can you tow my Tesla if it’s out of charge?
Yes. We’ll place it in Transport Mode when possible and load onto a flatbed. If the 12V is dead, we use professional loading methods with dollies to prevent dragging.
Is a wheel-lift safe for EVs?
We avoid two-wheel towing. When necessary, we use In The Ditch® or Collins® dollies to elevate all four wheels.
