How to Safely Ship Electric Vehicles (EVs) with Open Transport

Corja & Blog

With electric vehicle ownership booming, more customers now need professional transport for EVs. At Corja Auto Hauling we specialize in open transport and have safely shipped EVs like Rivians and Teslas nationwide. Here's what EV owners should know before booking.

1. Know Your EV’s Battery Status

Transporting EVs requires specific attention to battery level. We recommend charging to around 40‑60% to comply with safety guidelines and ensure there’s enough power for loading/unloading procedures. Fully charged batteries risk thermal issues, while near-empty batteries may prevent easy handling.

2. Prep Your Vehicle Like a Pro

  • Wash the EV to document paint and body condition

  • Remove all personal belongings

  • Disable transport/interlock modes if applicable

  • Take detailed photos of the dashboard, ports, and charging cable area

3. Document & Review All Systems

Take photos of the odometer, dashboard, charge port, tires, and any unique features. This ensures accurate records in case of damage claims or insurance needs.

4. Choose a Carrier Experienced With EVs

Not all haulers handle EVs the same way. Corja is fully insured and has experience transporting EVs safely on open trailers corjaautohauling.com. Working directly with the carrier ensures transparency and accountability throughout the process.

5. Stay Informed During Transport

EVs may require special handling or charging checkpoints during long routes. Corja’s team communicates regularly, especially when transport paths cross regions with higher temperatures or elevation where battery levels matter.

6. Charging at Destination

Upon delivery, some EVs need immediate charging to maintain battery health. Be prepared with access to a charger or arrange for temporary access until you can plug it in correctly.
