How Do You Recover an Electric Car?

The first thing you should do if you have been in an accident is to alert the emergency services. After that, you should contact RTA Claims. We offer roadside assistance services specifically designed for electric vehicles. All of our operators are high voltage awareness trained and ready to help.

Our fleet of mechanics and engineers will spring into action and be with you as soon as we can. When we arrive on the scene, we will help you take pictures of the accident and record any evidence that may help you in future accident claims.

We will then assess your electric or hybrid vehicle. If the damage is minor and your car is safe to drive, we will leave you to continue your journey. But, if your car has extensive damage or you have any personal injuries or trauma, we will ensure that additional support is provided and that your vehicle is towed away from the scene and taken to a reputable garage for repairs.

If you are left without a working car, we provide a like-for-like replacement directly at the scene. You can keep it until your vehicle is repaired and returned or until your accident management claim has been completed.
