EV Fleets · Rowley Regis B65
Rowley Regis ev fleets: cover for operators in B65
Rowley Regis businesses inside B65 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Businesses running electric vans and cars who need recovery support specific to EVs. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Sandwell MBC rota. Every Rowley Regis job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? 4 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Common collection points: Rowley Regis business park, the parking by the Rowley Hills, and post-war council housing. If M5 J2 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it.

- the Rowley Hills
We know a flat electric vehicle isn't always straightforward to move, and that getting it wrong can risk further damage. We take the appropriate care with loading and transport so your EV reaches its destination safely.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Rowley Regis business park, the parking around the Rowley Hills, and the residential grid of post-war council housing where drivers leave vehicles overnight. It is the difference between covering West Midlands and actually working it. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Sandwell MBC area. Overnight, most work here is on Victorian terraces rather than main roads. Gated yards at Highfields industrial estate often have a height barrier; a gate code saves ten minutes.

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.

Can you support a mixed fleet of EVs and petrol or diesel vehicles in Rowley Regis?

We are based in Oldbury, about 4 miles away, and come in via M5 J2 then A4034. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A4034 corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.

No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Rowley Regis on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
