Scrap hybrid & electric cars across Hampshire
Scrapping a hybrid or electric car in Hampshire is different — the high-voltage traction battery has real recovered value and must be handled at an ATF licensed for lithium and nickel-metal-hydride packs. We collect EVs, PHEVs and hybrids across the county, quote bespoke on the battery pack, and pay by instant bank transfer on collection. Safe, licensed, DVLA-notified.
- Toyota Prius, Auris, Yaris, RAV4 hybrids collected daily
- Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, VW eGolf, Tesla Model 3/S/Y
- PHEVs — Outlander, Mitsubishi PHEV, BMW 330e, Volvo T8
- Traction-battery value factored into every quote
- Fire / flood / accident-damaged EVs handled with the right kit
- Certificate of Destruction issued within 48 hours
Why hybrid & EV scrap is worth more
End-of-life EVs contain three high-value material streams that a petrol/diesel doesn't: lithium and cobalt in the traction battery, copper in the motor windings, and rare-earth magnets. Add the usual steel and aluminium shell value and a scrap EV typically pays a significant premium over an equivalent-weight ICE car — especially for newer packs still viable for second-life storage rather than raw recycling.
High-voltage battery safety
We route every hybrid and EV to an ATF licensed under the Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009 for high-voltage traction packs. That means:
- Safe isolation and discharge of the HV system before dismantling
- Fire-resistant containment during storage and transport
- Compliance with UN38.3 for damaged-battery transport
- Second-life diversion where the pack is still viable, recycling where it isn't
What we need to quote your EV accurately
- Registration number
- Postcode
- Battery state — working / degraded / dead / fire-damaged
- Any accident or flood history
- Whether the car still moves under its own power
