How to tow an electric vehicle.
An electric vehicle changes what you need to know before you hook up. Watch the Dolooma Academy walkthrough below, then follow the procedure for the exact make, model and year.
TOWING A MODERN EV — A DOLOOMA ACADEMY WALKTHROUGH · 3 MIN 15 SEC
What the walkthrough covers
A Dolooma Academy trainer recovers a modern electric vehicle and shows three things to check before the tow:
- Where the jump leads are.
- How to open the front trunk without power.
- What the centre screen tells you before you hook up.
Before you tow any modern vehicle
The Academy's Modern Car Requirements course covers what today's vehicles demand before a tow: EV cut-loops, ADAS sensors, alloy wheels and the recovery choices that follow. It is one of the courses on the training videos page.
Use the procedure for the exact vehicle
EV towing procedures differ by make, model and year, so follow the one written for the vehicle in front of you. Dolooma Academy organises its videos by service and by vehicle make, model and year, including EV platforms, and attaches the matching lesson to the dispatch job so the driver sees it before arriving. See how it works.
