Electric Car Scrapping in Orkney
An island archipelago off the north coast of Caithness with around 22,000 residents. Collections are timed to match ferry departures from Stromness and Kirkwall. Electric and hybrid vehicles in Orkney require specialist handling when they reach end of life. Our technicians are trained to safely isolate, disconnect, and remove high-voltage battery systems operating at 400 to 800 volts.
Standard scrap yards rarely have the training or equipment to handle the lithium-ion battery packs found in modern EVs. Incorrect handling risks electrical arc injuries, thermal runaway fires, and toxic electrolyte leaks. Our team follows each manufacturer's specific disconnect procedure, uses insulated tools rated to 1,000V, and stores removed packs in ventilated, fireproof containers.
If you own a Tesla Model 3, Nissan Leaf, MG4, BMW i3, Renault Zoe, or any plug-in hybrid in Orkney and the vehicle has reached end of life, our specialist collection ensures it is handled safely from your door to the recycler.
How EV Scrapping Works in Orkney
- Tell us the make, model, and battery type. We confirm the vehicle is one our technicians are qualified to handle.
- Your price factors in scrap weight and recoverable battery materials -- lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese.
- A flatbed collects from your Orkney address. The HV system is isolated on site before the vehicle is loaded.
- At our facility, the battery pack is removed with rated equipment, placed in fireproof storage, and sent to a licensed battery recycler.
