Electric Vehicle Scrapping Service for Edinburgh
More electric vehicles are reaching end of life each year, and Edinburgh is no exception. Scotland's capital and second-largest city. High population density and strict parking enforcement mean unwanted vehicles need to be moved promptly. Our specialist EV scrapping service addresses a gap that most conventional scrap yards cannot fill: the safe handling and disposal of high-voltage battery packs.
Our technicians follow a three-stage safety protocol for every EV from Edinburgh. Stage one: the vehicle is parked on a non-conductive surface and the key card removed. Stage two: the HV service disconnect is pulled and system voltage is verified at zero using a rated multimeter. Stage three: the battery pack is physically disconnected and lifted into fireproof containment.
Only after this protocol is complete does any physical dismantling begin. This is not overcaution — it is the legal and practical minimum for working safely with traction batteries that can store enough energy to arc-weld through steel.
