Towing companies face extra costs for electric vehicle

Towing companies are facing more costs as an increasing number of electric vehicles hit the roads. Patriot-St. Denis Towing in West Hempfield Township, Lancaster County has had to buy new equipment and make changes to its towing process to service electric vehicle incidents, some of the biggest changes made to their business in 20 years. "If I were guessing right off the top of my head, [there's] probably around 10 to 12 thousand dollars involved with the whole process," said Randall L. Geissler, president of Patriot-St. Denis Towing. "This is a whole new thing that we’re having to do." Geissler says many of the new costs have to do with safety precautions involved in dealing with electric vehicles and their fire risks. On top of extra inspection steps involving the Energy Security Agency (ESA), they've had to also invest in thermal cameras and concrete blocks to create an isolation storage area for at-risk EVs determined by the ESA. https://www.fox43.com/article/money/c...
