Why EV Transport Requires Extra Consideration

Battery Weight and Loading

EVs are often significantly heavier than comparable gas vehicles due to battery weight, and that weight is distributed differently. We account for this when calculating carrier load capacity, especially on multi-vehicle open carriers.

Charge Level Recommendations

Unlike a gas tank, an EV's battery shouldn't sit at 100% or near-empty during extended transport. We advise customers on the ideal charge level before pickup to protect long-term battery health.

No Reliable Push-Neutral on Some Models

Some EVs handle differently than gas vehicles when being loaded without engine power, and drivers experienced with electric vehicles know how to load and secure them correctly without relying on outdated assumptions from gas vehicle loading.

Higher Average Vehicle Value

EVs frequently represent a larger investment than comparable gas vehicles, and many owners want enclosed transport as a result. We offer that option and the careful handling that comes with it.

Growing Fleet and Dealer Demand

As EV adoption grows among both individual buyers and commercial fleets, we've built our process to handle both the one-off consumer shipment and larger-scale fleet and dealer transport.

EV Transport Services

Individual EV Relocation

Moving across the country with your EV? We ship Teslas, Rivians, Ford EVs, Hyundai/Kia EVs, and every other electric model with the same attention to detail regardless of brand.

Dealer EV Inventory Transport

Dealerships expanding their EV inventory need transport that understands battery weight and charge considerations just as well as it understands traditional vehicle logistics.

Fleet EV Transport

Businesses transitioning fleets to electric vehicles need reliable logistics for new vehicle delivery and fleet repositioning, just as they would for any other commercial vehicle type.

Open Transport for Standard EV Moves

Most EV shipments move via open transport, which is fully capable of handling electric vehicles when carrier weight capacity is properly accounted for.

Enclosed Transport for Luxury and High-Value EVs

For higher-end EVs or any situation where extra protection matters, enclosed transport keeps the vehicle fully shielded from weather and road debris.

How Cargo Van Transport Works

We stay in touch throughout transit, and our drivers are briefed on the specific handling considerations of electric vehicles before pickup.

Call (832) 886-1321. Tell us your EV's make and model, and we'll factor in the typical weight and any specific handling needs.

We'll advise on an ideal charge level (typically around 50%) for the trip ahead of pickup day.

Our driver, experienced with EV loading, completes a Bill of Lading documenting the vehicle's condition.

Your EV arrives at the destination, ready to charge and drive.

Preparing Your EV for Shipping

• Charge the battery to approximately 50% before pickup — full or near-empty isnt ideal
for extended transport
• Wash the car so existing scratches and dings are easy to document
• Take photos of all four sides of the vehicle before the driver arrives
• Remove all personal items from the interior and trunk/frunk
• Disable any aftermarket alarm systems that could be triggered during loading
• Note any special loading instructions for your specific model, if applicable
• Review and sign the Bill of Lading carefully, noting any pre-existing damage

Frequently Asked Questions

What charge level should my EV be at before shipping?

Around 50% is ideal. A full charge isn't necessary and isn't recommended for extended periods sitting unused, and a near-empty battery isn't ideal either.

Does EV weight affect transport cost?

It can be a factor in carrier matching, since EVs often weigh more than comparable gas vehicles. We factor this in when providing your quote.

Are your drivers experienced with loading electric vehicles?

Yes. Our network includes drivers experienced with the loading and securing considerations specific to EVs.

Can you ship a Tesla, Rivian, or other specific EV brand?

Yes. We ship all EV makes and models, including Tesla, Rivian, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, and every other electric vehicle brand.

Is enclosed transport recommended for EVs?

It's not required, but many EV owners choose enclosed transport given the vehicle's typically higher value. Both options are available.

Is my EV insured during transport?

Yes. All carriers carry cargo insurance as required by the FMCSA, regardless of vehicle type.

Can you transport a non-running or disabled EV?

Yes, though let us know upfront. EV loading for non-running vehicles requires specific handling that differs from gas vehicles.

Do you offer fleet pricing for EV dealers or businesses?

Yes. Dealers and fleet operators shipping multiple EVs get pricing based on actual volume.

How far in advance should I book EV transport?

One to two weeks ahead is ideal for standard scheduling. Expedited service is available within 24 to 48 hours when needed.

Is NexGen licensed and insured?

Yes. We are FMCSA licensed (MC# 1482694, USDOT# 3969190), bonded, insured, and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating.
