I guess that's what the AA or RAC will turn up with if you have an EV and run out of battery.

My friends Hyundai Ionic died recently. Called the supplying dealer and he was told to press the battery reset button. Came back to life.

The battery reset button on the Ioniq dash Is for the 12 volt side, it is to reset a relay and allow the high voltage EV battery to allow some charge into the 12 volt lithium ion battery. Much easier than getting jump leads or a battery pack......
