Here are some things that can happen when you tow an electric vehicle with its wheels on the ground:

• The battery can be damaged. 🔋

The battery in an electric vehicle is very sensitive to damage. When the vehicle is towed with its wheels on the ground, the battery can be damaged by the friction of the tires against the ground.

• The regenerative braking system can be damaged. ♻️

The regenerative braking system on an electric vehicle helps to slow the vehicle down. When the vehicle is towed with its wheels on the ground, the regenerative braking system can be damaged.

• The drive train can be damaged. 🚗

The drive train in an electric vehicle is the system that transfers power from the battery to the wheels. When the vehicle is towed with its wheels on the ground, the drive train can be damaged.

Go electric ✌️
