# EV Towing in Phoenix: What Dispatch Needs Before Sending a Truck
EV towing needs a careful first call. Dispatch needs to know the vehicle make and model, battery state, whether it rolls and steers, whether keys or app access are available, and whether the vehicle is in a garage, lot, street, or tight space.
For EV towing dispatch in Phoenix, call 480-288-5526.
Quick answer
If you need an electric vehicle towed, tell dispatch it is an EV before the truck is routed. EVs often need flatbed-style handling or extra care depending on drivetrain, wheel condition, access, and manufacturer guidance.
EV dispatch checklist
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Year, make, and model | EV towing requirements vary. |
| Battery state | A dead or damaged battery can affect loading. |
| Keys or app access | Access may affect neutral/steering modes. |
| Rolls and steers | Helps determine loading options. |
| Tire or wheel damage | Can change equipment and time. |
| Pickup access | Garages, narrow lots, and blocked spaces matter. |
| Destination | Dealer, repair shop, home, or storage. |
Why flatbed is often the starting point
Many EV towing situations are better evaluated from a flatbed-first mindset, especially if the vehicle should not roll on its own wheels or the drivetrain needs extra care.
