Reverse down the drive, so the nose is uphill... rolleyes

It also drains it from the trough surrounding the boot opening below the rear windscreen.

My drive runs the other way to yours, so I have to reverse out.

I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

I tried your discovery this afternoon - it didn't work.
Then I realised my drive is flat.
