What year is your Mach-E? This sounds like a dead 12V battery, not a low HV battery. There are some jumper cables inside of the front bumper that can be used to pop the frunk lid open so that the frunk panels can be removed for charging or jumping the 12V battery. Have you tried those? Once you get enough charge into the 12V, the doors should open and you should be able to start the car. ??

There is a flap on the passenger side. You can’t miss it.

Good morning! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this concern? Thank you!
