Electric vehicle security

Tracker and immobiliser fitting for electric cars.

Most electric cars unlock with a keyless fob, which makes them a favourite target for relay theft. A Thatcham approved tracker plus a hidden immobiliser lets you see where your car is, alerts you the moment it moves and stops it being driven away.

Common questions

Electric vehicle security questions.

Are electric cars more at risk of theft?

Many electric vehicles unlock and start with a keyless fob, so thieves can relay the signal from inside your home and drive away without breaking in. A Thatcham approved tracker and a hidden immobiliser give you protection that a keyless fob alone cannot.

Will fitting a tracker affect my EV warranty?

Our installs are carried out by fully insured, TASSA approved and SERMI approved fitters using approved methods for each vehicle. We fit in line with manufacturer guidance so your warranty stays intact, and we are happy to check the details for your model before booking.

Which tracker is best for an electric car?

For most electric vehicles we recommend a Thatcham Category S5 tracker with driver ID tags, as it helps stop the car being driven away without a tag. If you mainly want location and tow alerts at a lower cost, a Category S7 tracker such as the SmarTrack Protector Pro is a good fit.

Can you fit at my home?

Yes. We are a mobile service and fit at your home, workplace or dealer forecourt across the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Wales. Send your postcode and we will arrange a convenient time.

Can I add a Ghost immobiliser as well?

Yes. A Ghost immobiliser blocks the vehicle from being driven away even if a thief clones your key or beats the keyless signal, and it works quietly alongside your tracker. Ask about our combined offers.
