Can you fit a car boot hoist into an electric car?

For some people, an electric car is preferable but there can be questions and concerns around adapting a car with either an electric or hybrid engine to be able to load a mobility scooter or wheelchair into the boot.

As long as the dimensions of the car are suitable for a car hoist using the same considerations as with a non-electric car, a hoist to lift a mobility scooter or wheelchair can be fitted into an electric vehicle.

Often the vehicle specific parts of the car hoist design has to be different to a non-electric version of a vehicle due to additional batteries and wiring within the boot space but once it is installed it will operate the same way as a car hoist in any other vehicle.

The Jeff Gosling Apex Assist Boot Hoist has zero drain on the vehicle battery when the hoist is switched off and therefore it will not affect the functionality of the car.
