GPS Trackers for Electric Cars – EV-Compatible Security

Electric vehicles are increasingly targeted by thieves, particularly premium models like Tesla, BMW i4, and Audi e-tron. However, fitting a tracker or immobiliser to an EV requires different considerations than a petrol or diesel car – including 12V battery capacity, high-voltage safety, and warranty compatibility. LockCar’s professional installation ensures full compatibility with all EV makes and models.

EV-specific tracker considerations

EVs have two electrical systems: a high-voltage traction battery (400V-800V) for driving, and a standard 12V auxiliary battery for electronics. Trackers and immobilisers connect only to the 12V system – never to high-voltage components. However, EV 12V batteries are typically smaller than those in ICE vehicles, so low-power devices and voltage monitoring are essential. LockCar systems draw minimal current (under 5mA in standby) and include programmable low-voltage cut-off to preserve 12V battery health.

Compatibility with EV makes

LockCar devices are compatible with all EV makes including: Tesla (Model 3, Y, S, X), Nissan Leaf, VW ID.3/ID.4/ID.5, BMW i3/i4/iX, Hyundai Ioniq 5/6, Kia EV6, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Mercedes EQ range, Audi e-tron, Polestar, and MG EV. Our installers understand EV-specific wiring and CAN bus protocols, ensuring seamless integration without affecting charging, range estimation, or driver assistance systems.
