What Your EV Battery Is Worth in Shetland
Scotland's most northerly island group, over 100 miles north of the mainland. We coordinate Shetland collections with the NorthLink ferry service from Lerwick. The battery pack inside your EV contains materials with real commodity value: lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. When we scrap an electric car from Shetland, those materials are recovered by a specialist recycler — and their value is reflected in the price we pay you.
A typical 40 kWh battery pack contains several kilograms of lithium, cobalt, and nickel. At current commodity prices, the recovered materials alone can add £100 to £300 to a vehicle's value beyond standard scrap weight. Our pricing model factors this in automatically when you enter your registration — you see the benefit in a higher quote.
For hybrid vehicles from Shetland with smaller battery packs (1–15 kWh), the material value is lower but still meaningful. Plug-in hybrids with 10–15 kWh packs typically add £50 to £150 over the scrap-only rate. Mild hybrids with 48V systems carry a smaller premium but still qualify for our specialist handling.
