    Electric Vehicle (EV) Transport and Recovery in Ireland

    EVs and hybrids need flatbed recovery, not a tow rope. Here is why and how we handle electric-vehicle breakdowns.

    Electric and hybrid vehicles cannot always be towed with the driven wheels on the ground. Doing so can damage the electric motor and the regenerative-braking system. The safe option is flatbed recovery, where the whole vehicle is lifted clear of the road and nothing turns on the journey.

    Our EV transport service covers Co. Laois, Co. Kildare, Co. Offaly and Co. North Tipperary. If your EV runs out of charge or develops a fault in Portlaoise, Tullamore, Athy or Roscrea, we bring a flatbed and take it to a workshop that can diagnose high-voltage systems.

    We also carry out charging-station recoveries, common when a vehicle will not release its charge cable or has a software lock-out. Wherever you are in the Midlands, call +353 85 150 7308 and ask specifically for flatbed transport for your EV.
