Electric Vehicle (EV) Safe Towing, E17-Style
EVs must never be flat-towed. We transport electric vehicles on a flatbed with all wheels off the ground, protecting the motors and battery. On every E17 job that means:
- High-voltage aware handling
- Out-of-charge recovery
- Delivery to charger or garage
- Flatbed-only, wheels-up transit
- Protects EV drivetrain & battery
Know Your Way Around E17
We treat E17 as home ground: Walthamstow, the boundary roads shared with E16, E18 and E15, and the routes in from the Waltham Forest side near Epping Forest. Name any corner of the district and a driver will know it.
Your E17 Callout, Step by Step
A E17 job runs like this:
- Call 07538 716531. “E17, near Walthamstow” is enough — we’ll pin the exact spot together.
- You get a live ETA on the call (about 30–60 minutes for E17), not a callback queue.
- We load your vehicle using soft straps and a low loading angle — no chassis contact.
- We deliver discreetly to your chosen address, on time and mark-free.
Working Inner-London Streets
E17’s residential streets weren’t built for recovery trucks — but ours work them daily, from Walthamstow across to the E16 and E18 boundaries. Whether you’re boxed into a permit bay or stopped on a narrow through-road, we bring the right-sized vehicle for the street.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t my EV be towed on its wheels?
Rolling an EV can damage its motors and regenerative system. We always flatbed electric vehicles across E17 with the wheels clear of the road. In E17 specifically, ask the driver anything else when they call with the ETA.
How is ev towing priced for E17?
From £60 for a standard callout in E17, quoted up front over the phone. No callout fee for the quote itself.
What’s the realistic ETA for Walthamstow?
Yes — we run 24/7, and night jobs in E17 are often quicker than daytime because the roads are clear. Expect roughly 30–60 minutes.
The streets around Walthamstow are really narrow — can a recovery truck get in?
Yes. We match the vehicle to the street, and drivers who work E17 weekly know which roads take a full flatbed and which need a more compact truck. Tell us your road name and we’ll send the right one first time.
