Check out HONK’s Get Hooked podcast, all about electric vehicles (EVs)! There are 2.4 million EVs on the road today, and 39% of people are considering buying one. Is your towing and roadside business prepared to support these new electric vehicles? Listen to this episode to pick up a few tips and tricks for towing EVs from tow truck expert Chris Young of Parkway Consulting and podcast hosts Dennis McGowan and Shelli Hawkins.  

Towing and roadside jobs for EVs are not more complex than traditional gas-powered vehicles. Tow professionals just need to follow a slightly different set of procedures for these jobs. As vehicles evolve, so must the towing and roadside procedures we follow. 

Here are a few things you’ll learn during the podcast. 1) Why it’s crucial to use 8-point connection points and how to follow the manufacturers' recommendations tow eyelet use. 2) Why you should invest in EV/Hybrid training to keep your tow operators in the know. 3) The benefits of documenting what you’re doing to these vehicles and how to protect yourself from unwarranted damage claims. And much more!

Do you want to attend EV Training? HONK worked with Wreckmaster to provide the towing and roadside community a $15 discount off their Hybrid/EV Awareness online training course. Listen to the podcast to get your promo code.
