EV & Tesla Towing in Bergen County, NJ

Electric vehicles can never be towed with wheels on the ground, regenerative braking systems make it dangerous and damaging. Every EV must ride on a flatbed, and loading one takes specific knowledge: transport modes, tow eyes, and procedures differ by brand.

XXCELL Towing transports EVs weekly, Porsche Taycans, Audi e-tron GTs, Teslas, and our operators know the loading procedures for each. Look at our gallery: those electric Porsches and Audis are real Bergen County jobs.

Dead battery EVs (the big battery, not the 12V) require careful handling to load without power, we have the equipment and experience for it.

Electric vehicles have specific towing requirements that a lot of operators simply don't know, and getting it wrong can be dangerous and expensive. An EV can never be towed with its wheels on the ground, the regenerative braking and drive systems make it a hard no. Every electric vehicle must ride on a flatbed, and loading one correctly means knowing that brand's transport mode, tow-eye location, and jack points.

XXCELL Towing transports EVs every week, the Tesla Model Y in the photo above is one of ours, and our gallery is full of Porsche Taycans and Audi e-tron GTs we've moved across the county. Our operators are familiar with the loading procedures across Tesla, Porsche, Audi, and other EV brands, including how to move a vehicle whose main battery is fully depleted and won't shift into neutral.

As EV ownership grows across Bergen County, and it's growing fast in towns like Fort Lee, Englewood, and Tenafly, having a tow company that actually understands electric vehicles matters. Save our number before you need it.

Electric vehicles fail differently than gasoline cars, and most of these end in a tow:

• The main battery ran to zero and the car will not move
• A 12-volt battery failure, which locks the car down entirely
• A charging fault or damaged charge port
• A flat tire on a vehicle with no spare, which is most EVs
• Collision damage anywhere near the battery pack
• A car that will not shift into transport or neutral mode

On an electric vehicle the motors are geared directly to the wheels, so rolling the wheels spins the motors and generates current whether the car is on or not. That can damage the drive unit and, in a damaged vehicle, is a genuine fire risk. Every EV manufacturer specifies flatbed transport with all four wheels off the ground, full stop. If the car has lost all power, it may not release its parking pawl, which is exactly when skates and the correct tow eye matter rather than force.

Tesla Model 3, Y, S, and X, Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron and e-tron GT, Lucid Air, Rivian R1T and R1S, Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV6, Chevrolet Bolt, BMW i-series, and plug-in hybrids.

We move EVs weekly and know the parts that catch people out: where the tow eye threads in, how to get a dead car into transport mode, which jack points are safe on a skateboard-battery chassis, and how to load a vehicle whose parking brake will not release. The Tesla and Lucid in our gallery are our own Bergen County jobs.

We dispatch 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from our base at 4 West Palisades Avenue in Englewood, covering every town in Bergen County including Fort Lee, Englewood, Tenafly, Alpine, and Paramus.
