How the service works for you
Faults and warning lights
Electric vans and cars can throw up unfamiliar warnings that aren't always something the driver can safely diagnose. We'll help assess whether it's safe to continue or whether recovery is the sensible option.
Flat battery call-outs
Running out of charge away from a charger is one of the most common EV issues we see. Depending on the situation, we'll talk through whether recovery to the nearest suitable charge point makes sense, or a longer transport back to base.
Supporting mixed fleets
If your fleet includes a mix of electric and combustion vehicles, we can support both under one call-out number, so you don't need a separate arrangement for each type.
