When we swap cars for cash, there isn’t an end-of-life vehicle that our team won’t collect. While we primarily offer “Scrap my Car” and “Scrap my Van” services for older petrol and diesel models, we can offer a scrap car collection for electrical and hybrid vehicles as well. We manage your car disposal and car recycling requirements in an ethical manner that is good for you and good for the environment.
If you can’t “Sell my Car” or “Sell my Van” to a private buyer from the Bromley area, we will come out to collect it instead.
You always receive the fairest price for a scrap car collection.
Many of our customers in Bromley have driven electric vehicles for a long time and what were once new models are now reaching the end of their serviceable lifecycles. We can take these vehicles back to our yard in Coulsdon to depollute them and to salvage panels and parts.
The battery from an EV can be a problem for a car recycling yard.
In the car disposal and car recycling fields, dealing with batteries from an electrical car is becoming more commonplace so, whenever you decide to “Scrap my Car” or “Scrap my Van” and an EV is involved, we need to factor in the heavy weight of their batteries, and what they contain. This is especially true of the precious materials inside.
EV batteries from a scrap car collection in Bromley can hold:
When you can’t “Sell my Car” or “Sell my Van” at the end of a normal working lifecycle, consider swapping cash for cars, and vans, with Scrap Cars R Us. We collect EV and hybrid models from Bromley in a fleet vehicle and pay out the latest scrap metal rates on the day.
Recycling EV or hybrid batteries from scrap car collections isn’t as easy as you might think. There are key things for us to consider.
Design
These batteries come in a range of sizes, have different cell shapes and contain different chemicals, and they are also manufactured in unique ways based on the marque of an EV or hybrid. This makes a car disposal or car recycling job more challenging for us to complete.
“Scrap my Car” and “Scrap my Van” services in Bromley factor in the management of these batteries and the extraction of their materials.
Safety
When you “Sell my Car” or “Sell my Van” for scrap, service providers must keep safety in mind. Manage a battery in the wrong way, and we could be exposed to fire, shock and fume risks. Scrap car collection work should only be undertaken by an authorised treatment facility.
We travel out to Bromley and exchange cars for cash knowing that our staff are suitably equipped, and trained, to deal with EV batteries.
Cost
“Scrap my Car” or “Scrap my Van” services for petrol or diesel cars and commercial vehicles reduce the demand for valuable metals due to the way we undertake car disposal and car recycling work. An EV or a hybrid is different because material separation uses more energy.
This means that every EV or hybrid scrap car collection from Bromley tends to cost more when we come to depollute and recycle batteries.
Importantly, when you “Sell my Car” or “Sell my Van” to our company, you will have one of the best teams in the Bromley area working on the dismantling side of the job. We use new technologies that help in recovering materials more efficiently, and at much lower costs.
When you swap cars for cash, your only consideration with an EV or a hybrid is to ensure you choose the specialists at Scrap Cars R Us.
