When petrol cars run out of fuel on the road A few methods that can be done we all know. You can call a tow truck by phone, you can walk to the nearest gas station and buy gas from a can, or you can ask other drivers in the area for help getting fuel.

So what can be done if the same situation occurs with electric cars, that is, if the car’s battery runs out? Moreover, charging stations are not yet widespread. There is actually a solution, Charge by pulling!

Electric vehicle owners don’t have to worry about being stranded on the road.

People whose electric cars no longer have a battery may be afraid of being stranded on the road, but there is a very easy solution. By having another car tow their car away to upload.

This was tried with a Tesla on the Engineering Explored channel. The Ford Raptor pulled the Tesla around a track at 30 km per hour. Tesla charged a little more with every kilometer, and according to the results of the experiment, a Model 3 Tesla Tow 75 km to fully charge Enough!

So how is this possible?

The movement of Tesla’s wheels causes an armature in the electric motor to rotate, creating current. Later electric motor acts as a generator It activates the regenerative braking system and supplies power to the discharged battery. Although this method has been tried on Tesla, it is actually an effective method for many hybrid and fully electric models.

One must be careful before attempting such a thing.

Calling a tow truck is better than towing the dead battery and charging it. A much safer method. Those who do this usually try it by recording a test video for YouTube.

Even if you are going to try it, it is useful to consider; The car does not regenerate electricity whether it is pulled straight or rolled down a hill. The battery must therefore contain sufficient electrons and the equipment must also do so in driving mode should be taken.

In addition, because electric vehicles are heavy, the vehicle that tows them must be very powerful, just like the electric vehicle is as if the parking brake was engaged can feel. We’re not even going into the fact that you have to keep a safe distance.

In short, yes, electric vehicles can be charged by towing, but this should be the last option.
