Four Oaks ev fleets: cover for operators in B74
For a business in Four Oaks, downtime has a postcode. A vehicle off the road in B74 costs a different amount of time to one stranded on the far side of West Midlands, and we price and plan accordingly — Oldbury base, 13 miles, in via M6 Toll T4. If you can see Four Oaks Park from where you are standing, the driver already knows the approach. Loading on A5127 needs a safe run-off; near Four Oaks Park that usually means the side road. Postcode-level cover: B74, plus the ring of areas within a few miles. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.

How the service works for you
Safe loading and transport
We take appropriate care when loading and securing electric vehicles, mindful of their different weight distribution and battery placement compared with a standard combustion vehicle.
- Recovery for flat battery and charging faults
- Careful handling reflecting EV weight and battery placement
- Transport to depots, dealers or charge points
- Support for mixed fleets running EVs and combustion vehicles
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.
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.
