EV & electric car towing: the safe, flatbed-only way in Hamilton
Searching for EV towing near me in Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas and Stoney Creek? Electric and hybrid vehicles must be moved on a flatbed, and it is not optional. An EV motor stays mechanically linked to the wheels, with no true neutral to disconnect it. Tow it with the wheels turning and the motor spins unpowered, generating heat that can damage the inverter and drive unit, and in many cases voiding your warranty.
Hamilton Towing transports every electric vehicle fully off the ground on a flatbed, so all four wheels stay stationary from pickup to drop-off. Whether you drive a Tesla, a plug-in hybrid or a full battery-electric SUV, our operators load it correctly the first time and deliver it safely to your home, dealership or the nearest charging station whether you are downtown or up on the Mountain. We are available around the clock, because a dead EV does not wait for business hours.
24/7 EV Flatbed Towing
Emergency electric vehicle towing after-hours, on weekends and on holidays. We keep flatbeds ready across Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas and Stoney Creek for same-day dispatch, and we come prepared for cold Ontario mornings when a drained 12V battery can leave your EV unable to shift or release its brake.
Tesla & EV Transport Mode
Our operators know Tesla Transport Mode, the correct jack points, and the low ground clearance of skateboard battery platforms. From the Model 3, Y, S and X to the Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV6, Chevrolet Bolt and Ford Mustang Mach-E, every EV is loaded without scraping or drivetrain stress.
High-Voltage Battery Safety
EV traction batteries run at 400 to 800 volts. After a collision we treat every vehicle as live, keep clear of damaged high-voltage components, watch for thermal-runaway warning signs, and transport your EV carefully. Your safety and your vehicle come first, every time.

EV & ELECTRIC CAR TOWING FAQ
Do you charge extra to tow an electric vehicle?
No. EV towing is priced like any other flatbed tow, based on distance and any recovery involved. We give you a clear, upfront estimate before we dispatch, with no hidden fees and no surprise EV surcharge.
Why do electric vehicles need flatbed towing?
EV motors stay linked to the wheels with no true neutral. Towing on the wheels forces the motor to spin, generating heat that can damage the inverter and drive unit. A flatbed lifts all four wheels off the ground, the method Tesla and other manufacturers require.
Can you tow a Tesla in Hamilton?
Yes. We use Transport Mode or the correct jack points and skates, and we know the low approach angle Teslas need. We tow all Model 3, Y, S and X, and deliver to your home, service centre or Supercharger.
Is it safe to tow my EV after a collision?
Yes, with proper care. Our operators are trained around high-voltage batteries, watch for thermal-runaway warning signs, and load damaged EVs slowly and carefully onto the flatbed for safe transport.
Which electric vehicles and hybrids do you tow?
All makes, including Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV6, Chevrolet Bolt, Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, Polestar, Rivian and plug-in hybrids like the Prius Prime and RAV4 Prime.
Does flatbed EV towing add wear or miles to my car?
No. Flatbed towing adds zero miles to your odometer and puts no load on the drivetrain. Your EV sits completely stationary on the platform, fully protected from pickup to drop-off.
What if my EV will not shift out of park or the 12V battery is dead?
That is common, especially in cold weather when the 12V battery drains. Our operators can still load your EV safely using skates or the manufacturer recovery procedure, with no wheels turning.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency EV towing?
Yes. Our electric vehicle flatbed towing runs around the clock across Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas and Stoney Creek, including nights, weekends and holidays.
How much does EV towing cost in Hamilton?
Cost depends on distance and whether any recovery is involved. We give an upfront estimate before dispatch with no hidden fees, so you always know the price before we roll.
