Warning Lights
Mechanically speaking, electric cars are quite simple. So, if your car will still drive, even though a warning light is displayed, your best option is to continue to your destination.
Once you’re safely at your destination, please email us (with a photo of the problem, if possible) on hello@elmodrive.com or call us on 0330 165 4945.
We will work with you to figure out the nature of the problem and then organise for the problem to be resolved as soon as possible.
