  • Florida Tow Driver Tows Kia EV After Battery Drains, Spotlighting EV Towing Complexities
    December 27, 2025, 2:04 PM EST. A Florida tow truck driver handles an all-wheel-drive Kia EV that was towed not for a breakdown but because the renter let the battery drain. In a viral clip by Tow Ginger, the technician explains why EV towing is more delicate: four wheel dollies or 'skates', a winch, and careful loading to avoid damage to motors and driveline. Without power, many EVs won't shift to neutral, so flatbeds or four-corner support are often required. Industry guidance from AAA and automakers recommends flatbed towing whenever possible, especially for AWD EVs. The incident also highlights tensions in the rental-car space, as fleets increasingly deploy electric vehicles and drivers must understand the extra time and equipment involved in EV towing.
