100% electric unlicensed car towing capacity

It is not new that owners install trailer hitches on combustion (gasoline) vehicles not approved by the manufacturer. Electric vehicles are no exception to this habit.

Sometimes trailer hitches are used for bicycle hitching or for luggage boxes, but also for towing a small trailer on occasion.

But beware, although companies may manufacture and sell suggested trailer hitches for certain vehicles not approved for towing, in the event of a problem, the dealer of your electric vehicle could refuse a repair under warranty.

If in doubt, don’t! So, wait until your vehicle’s warranty is over so you don’t take any risks.

We have identified the electric vehicles below based on the availability of EcoHitch™ brand trailer hitches. Some are also available at https://www.alxmic.com/, a Quebec supplier.

So here is the list we have identified for you to tow.

As these vehicles are not authorized to tow according to their manufacturers, the towing capacity of these vehicles is rather difficult to know exactly. This is why the capacities below are those of the trailer hitch and not of the vehicle.
