Electric van or car stopped somewhere around Stratford mid-round? Get in touch with K9 on 07301 118118 or through the quote tool, and a driver loads the vehicle rather than towing it, with costs confirmed over WhatsApp in advance.
A courier running an electric van between drop-offs around Westfield Stratford City suddenly finds the dashboard flashing a fault and the power delivery cutting in and out, with a van full of parcels still to deliver and a schedule that does not forgive a long wait. Vans like the Vivaro-e and e-Transit are now a common sight around Stratford, and K9 is used to keeping working drivers moving, or at least getting their vehicle off the road safely when it cannot go on.
An electric car dragged along on its wheels can send unwanted current back through a motor that was never designed for it, so K9 loads it instead, and the same rule applies to a loaded delivery van as it does to any passenger EV.

K9 is a nationwide recovery company with around 3,000 drivers, sending the nearest one carrying EV-suitable kit, which around Stratford could mean a driver already parked up near the A11, the A12, or the retail park roads around Westfield. Arrival inside built-up areas normally lands somewhere in the 15 to 45 minute range.
Because a courier’s day depends on the van, the K9 driver will talk through the fault on the phone before arriving where possible, and once on site will work out whether the main battery has run dry, a charging fault is to blame, or something in the power electronics is causing the reduced-power warning. The van is loaded onto a flatbed rather than towed, protecting cargo as well as the drivetrain, and taken to a garage that specialises in EVs, a main dealer, or straight back to base, whichever gets the driver back on the road soonest.
Electric vans and cars K9 covers around Stratford
- Vivaro-e and e-Transit vans used by couriers and tradespeople
- Tesla and Kia or Hyundai models common among app-based drivers
- Larger electric names such as BMW, Jaguar and Porsche for private passengers
K9 will not ask for a membership number, and there is no fee purely for turning up; costs are confirmed over WhatsApp in advance, which matters most to someone on the clock. K9 averages 4.9 out of 5 stars from a Google review count past the 200 mark, including feedback from delivery drivers who needed a fast, straightforward answer rather than a long negotiation.
Vans making dozens of short stops a day around the Stratford retail district put a different kind of strain on a battery than a single long motorway journey would, with the stop-start pattern sometimes masking a developing fault until it finally shows itself mid-round.
Traffic around the Olympic Park and Stratford International adds its own rhythm to the day, with event days in particular bringing far more congestion than usual, so a fault that strikes during a concert or a match at the nearby stadium can take longer to reach than it would on an ordinary weekday. Letting K9 know if an event is affecting the roads nearby helps the driver plan the best route in.
For a courier managing several stops in one round, flagging which parcels are time-critical when calling K9 can help, since the driver sometimes suggests the quickest place to hand the van over so anything already loaded does not sit for longer than necessary. Fleet operators running more than one electric van around Stratford can also register recurring routes with K9 so future callouts move even faster.
Retail traffic around Westfield can make a van tricky to describe precisely, so a nearby landmark, a car park level, or a specific service road is far more useful to the driver than a general postcode on its own.
With so many delivery vans passing through Stratford for both Westfield and the wider retail district, K9 is used to recovering vehicles carrying valuable cargo rather than just passengers, and drivers are briefed to treat a loaded van with the same care as an empty one. Locking the van and keeping any handheld delivery scanner or phone with you, rather than leaving it inside, is sensible while waiting for the flatbed to arrive.
Stratford’s mix of retail traffic around Westfield, courier vans running out towards Leyton and Hackney Wick, and commuters using the A118 keeps K9 answering EV calls here every week, from flat batteries and charging faults to the odd accident where high-voltage caution is needed. Whatever has brought your van or car to a stop around Stratford, 07301 118118 or the quote tool gets a flatbed on its way rather than a rope.
