CarTakeBack, the largest scrap car recycling network in the UK, and Ecobat Solutions, pioneers in the world of EV battery recycling, announced an official partnership to collaborate in serving the ever-growing need for sustainable recycling of electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles (EVs) have become more and more popular in recent years, with unpredictable fuel prices and changes in work practices hastening the current rate of adoption – with one in five new car registrations now being fully electric, and around half having some form of battery assistance.
Consumers, however, remain concerned about the resources and scarce metals required to produce a new battery, and worries about sustainability of this new technology could slow the rate of adoption.
Even though only a small number of hybrid and fully electric vehicles are currently reaching their natural end-of-life, the number of ‘premature’ or usually accident damaged end of life electric vehicles needing scrapping has been growing in recent years.
