Wolverhampton EV recovery - flatbed only, tow mode set
EV recovery done the way manufacturers require - flatbed only, tow mode set, HV isolated on accident jobs.
From Oldbury to Wolverhampton is 9 miles. Enough time to talk you through waking the car - Tesla, Polestar, Hyundai and BMW all differ - and to bring a booster for the 12V that is probably why you cannot open the doors.

Wolverhampton — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across WV1 and WV2 and WV3 sit inside the City of Wolverhampton Council area, and electric vehicles tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near the Molineux, deliveries into Wednesfield, or on civic buildings where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.
