What changes when an EV will not drive, including wheel lock and safe transporter loading.
EV recovery needs drivetrain awareness.
An electric vehicle may lock its driven wheels when power is lost. Incorrect dragging can damage the drivetrain, tyres or parking mechanism. Tell the operator the exact model and whether it can enter neutral or transport mode.
Battery damage changes the job.
After a collision, visible high-voltage battery damage, heat, smoke or unusual smells should be treated seriously. Keep clear and use emergency services where there is fire risk.
What DSBM needs from you.
- Exact location or both postcodes for planned transport.
- Registration, make and model.
- Whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers and brakes.
- Any collision damage, locked wheels or very low clearance.
- Photographs where condition or access is unusual.
