Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Shipping Guide — Vinmove Auto Transport 

Is the Electric Vehicle Market Growing?

Yes. The electric vehicle industry is experiencing rapid growth due to strong consumer demand, government rebates, and expanded model availability.
According to the International Energy Agency, EVs will account for 25% of global vehicle sales by 2025.

As EV ownership increases, so does the need for trusted transport services. Vinmove Auto Transport stays ahead of these trends with modern equipment and EV-trained drivers.

How Do Hybrid and Electric Vehicles Differ from Standard Cars?

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)

Hybrids use both a gasoline engine and an electric motor. The Toyota Prius is a well-known example and can operate with:

• Engine power

• Electric motor power

• A combination of both

All-Electric Vehicles (EVs)

EVs operate entirely on electricity. They use high-capacity lithium-ion batteries and have no gas tank or internal combustion engine.

Environmental Advantages

• EVs generate 60–68% fewer lifetime emissions than gas vehicles.

• Hybrids reduce emissions by about 45%.

While the upfront cost can be higher, most EV and hybrid owners save money over time with lower maintenance and fuel costs.

Is It Safe to Ship a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle With Vinmove Auto Transport?

Yes — Vinmove Auto Transport safely ships thousands of hybrid and electric vehicles nationwide.

Our experienced auto transport specialists follow strict EV handling procedures, especially regarding battery safety.

Recommended Battery Level for Transport

Keep the battery between 45% and 65%. This ensures:

• Enough power for loading and unloading

• Reduced risk of overheating

• Compliance with industry best practices

Vinmove Auto Transport uses modern carriers and trained drivers to ensure your EV arrives safely and on time.

Facts About Shipping Hybrid & Electric Vehicles

Here are the most important things every EV owner should know:

• Hybrid and electric cars are loaded, transported, and unloaded the same way as gas vehicles.

• EV transport regulations are the same, except lithium-ion batteries have special handling requirements.

• Electric vehicles often weigh more due to the battery. This may affect shipping cost.
  Example: The Ford F-150 Lightning weighs about 1,600 lbs more than the gas version.

• Because EVs are valuable investments, choosing an experienced EV shipping company like Vinmove Auto Transport is essential.
