EV & Hybrid TowingBrisbane.
Careful transport planning for electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles.
Brisbane Towing Company provides EV towing and hybrid vehicle transport across Brisbane and surrounding South East Queensland. Suitable electric car towing in Brisbane can require model-specific transport mode, neutral, electronic parking-brake and wheel-movement procedures, so the exact make, model and condition matter before loading.
Tell us first: make/model, battery or drive fault, whether the vehicle powers on, and whether all wheels roll freely.

EV towing information
EV Towing Brisbane for Electric & Hybrid Vehicles.
For EV towing in Brisbane, the important details are the make and model, whether the vehicle can enter transport or neutral mode, wheel condition, access and destination. Hybrid towing is assessed in the same way so the loading method can be planned before the truck arrives.
The safest approach is to identify the vehicle precisely and follow its manufacturer transport procedure where required. Do not assume every EV can simply be placed in neutral the same way.
01
Transport or tow mode
Some EVs provide a dedicated transport, tow or car-wash mode. Availability and activation steps depend on the model.
02
Electronic parking brake
If the vehicle will not power on, the electronic parking brake may not release normally and this should be declared before dispatch.
03
Locked wheels
A wheel that will not rotate can require a different loading setup from a vehicle that rolls freely.
04
Low battery or drive fault
A flat traction battery, 12-volt issue or drive-system fault can affect how the vehicle is prepared for loading.
05
Low-clearance EVs
Some electric sedans and performance vehicles also have low front, rear or underbody clearance that needs loading-angle planning.
06
Planned transport
EVs and hybrids can also be moved between homes, dealers, workshops or storage as a scheduled vehicle transport job.
Before the truck is sent
Four details make an EV tow much easier to assess.
Give us the actual condition rather than simply saying the vehicle “won’t start.” That helps determine whether normal loading is likely or whether extra preparation may be required.
Make & modelFor example, provide the exact EV or hybrid model rather than only the manufacturer.
Power stateTell us whether the dash powers on and whether you can access the normal vehicle controls.
Wheel movementConfirm whether the vehicle rolls and steers and whether the parking brake releases.
Fault or damageDescribe warning messages, drive faults, damaged tyres or suspension issues before dispatch.
Breakdown or planned move?
The reason for transport changes the booking.
An EV with a fault on the roadside is a breakdown towing job. A working vehicle moving between a dealer, workshop, home or storage facility is usually planned vehicle transport.
Common EV & hybrid moves

Charging or electrical faultVehicle has a fault that prevents normal driving or safe continuation.

Why does the EV model matter?
Manufacturers can use different transport-mode, neutral and electronic parking-brake procedures, so the exact model helps determine the correct preparation.
What if the EV has no power?
Tell us before dispatch. Loss of vehicle power can affect the ability to release the parking brake, select neutral or activate transport mode.
