Wheel-lift towing spins the drive motors at the lifted axle and stresses suspension components designed for four-wheel ground contact, which can cost $10,000 to $40,000 in motor and inverter damage. Flatbed towing keeps every wheel on the deck so the drivetrain is never back-driven. Regina Towing sends a flatbed unit on every EV call.

Flatbed-Only EV Towing in Regina, Every Make, Every Hour
Your Tesla Model 3 is stranded between charging stations. A Polestar 2 is wedged on a downtown parkade ramp. A Rivian R1T's 12V auxiliary failed. Regina Towing sends a flatbed-trained operator on every electric vehicle call, no wheel-lift ever, no exceptions.
- Flatbed-only EV pickup

- 12V boost & charge-port aware
EV Makes & Models
Tesla, Polestar, Rivian, Ford & Every EV Badge.
Regina's electric vehicle fleet spans Tesla Model 3 Long Range and Model Y Performance, Polestar 2 Dual Motor, Rivian R1T and R1S, Ford F-150 Lightning, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6, Kia EV6 GT, Volkswagen ID.4, and Mustang Mach-E. Platform differences are real, but the towing rule is universal: flatbed transport only, without exception.
Wheel-lift towing forces the in-wheel or axle-mounted motors to spin backward while the inverter that controls them is locked. The result is catastrophic: $10,000 to $40,000 in motor and electronics failure, plus suspension geometry that no longer holds alignment. Regina heavy-duty flatbed recovery is the only safe method for an electric vehicle. When you call, lead with the word "electric" so the request routes to a flatbed unit and bypasses the wheel-lift queue entirely.
EV Tow Flow
Flatbed EV Recovery in Regina, Four-Step Walkthrough.
-
Activate transport mode on the EV
If the touchscreen is responsive, select transport or jack mode. If the 12V is dead and the screen is dark, park the vehicle and inform the operator of the condition.
-
Call and lead with "electric"
State the make, model, battery charge level, ambient temperature, location, and what failed. This ensures a flatbed unit is routed to you.
-
Operator maps the route and confirms cost
The operator identifies the nearest Tesla, Polestar, Rivian, or Ford service centre, quotes the total cost, provides an arrival window, and stages a flatbed nearby.
-
Winch, secure, and transport
The operator winches the EV onto the flatbed deck with all four wheels elevated, secures the chassis using manufacturer-approved tie-downs, and tows to the service centre.
Local Coverage
Range Loss, Superchargers, Parkades: Regina EV Towing Scenarios.
Regina's Supercharger network covers the metropolitan core and major commuter routes. The inter-city highway corridor is where most range-anxiety calls originate. Cold weather cuts real-world range by 20 to 40 percent, and a Tesla Model 3 that completed an inter-city run in fall may not make the return trip in deep winter. Regina Towing flatbeds the EV from a stranded charging stop to the nearest functional Supercharger or to a service centre.
Downtown Regina's parkade system presents a second challenge. Many garages have steep ramp transitions that high-centre lower-clearance EVs, particularly the Polestar 2. When the underbody catches on a ramp lip, a flatbed with proper approach angle and an operator trained on battery-pack location is the only safe recovery method. Attempting recovery without that knowledge risks puncturing the battery enclosure, a fire-grade hazard. Typical Regina wrecker service rates run $80 to $150 for hook-up plus $3 to $6 per kilometre, with EV flatbed at the higher end. If the issue is a dead 12V auxiliary only, ask about a Regina 12V boost call instead of a full tow.

Regina EV & Tesla Towing Questions.
Wheel-lift damage risk, Tesla transport mode, dead 12V auxiliary, Supercharger rescue, and direct service-centre billing.
Tesla vehicles have a transport mode that disengages parking pawls so wheels can roll while loading. The mode is selected through the touchscreen or, if the screen is dark, via the manual front-trunk pull or 12V boost. Operators trained on Tesla protocol know the sequence; tell the operator the model and battery state on the call.
A dead 12V locks doors, blanks the touchscreen and prevents the high-voltage pack from waking, so the car cannot shift to neutral or unlock. A 12V boost from the operator usually restores function long enough for the EV to load onto the flatbed. The unit sent is equipped for both boost and tow.
If the pack is fully depleted, the car cannot drive itself the last mile. Regina Towing flatbeds the EV to the nearest Supercharger or to a Tesla service centre. Pushing or wheel-lifting the car can damage the steering rack and motor housings, do not attempt either.
Many EV warranty and roadside policies bill directly to the manufacturer's service network. Share the carrier and preferred service centre when calling (639) 739-4116. Pricing typically runs $80 to $150 for hook-up plus $3 to $6 per kilometre, and the operator confirms coverage before the tow begins.

Tesla Model Y went into reduced-power mode on the highway in minus-fifteen weather. Flatbed in 35 minutes, dropped at the service centre. Exactly what I needed.

Polestar 2 high-centred on a downtown parkade ramp. Operator showed up with a low-angle flatbed, lifted off without scraping. Knew where the battery pack ran.

Rivian R1T 12V died at a charger. Operator walked me through the front-trunk manual pull while the flatbed was en route. Boost got it rolling.

Mustang Mach-E ran out short of the Supercharger on the highway. Flatbedded back into town, billed through Ford warranty. Charging within the hour.
