"textContent": "Presented herein is an electric vehicle's electromagnetic gear-toothed clutch wheel release mechanism and associated control logic for providing comprehensive towing capabilities, the method and components needed for operating and towing electric vehicles, and features for protecting the vehicle's high or low voltage drivetrain and electrical components during flat or inclined towing. Controlling the operation of electric drive vehicles includes all modes of normal driving, braking, parking, and towing. This design moves braking components toward the drive motors, installs electromagnetic clutches, engages and disengages the clutches to provide for driving, braking, parking, and towing, provides a failsafe if the vehicle separates from the towing vehicle, protects high and low voltage components from damage that would occur if subjected to counter electromotive forces from a continuously rotating drive motor, removes uncontrolled regenerative charging, and prevents unfettered heat generation and unwanted voltages transmitted through the electrical system and battery cells.",
