EV batteries lack repairability leading some insurers to junk whole cars after even minor collisions
Story by Lawrence Richard • Yesterday 3:40 AM




Ascratched or slightly damaged electric battery might be enough for some insurers to write off entire cars, as for many electric vehicles there is no way to repair battery packs after collisions.



As a result, the consumer — who likely acquired an electric vehicle wanting to reduce monthly costs — faces higher premiums and some countries are starting to see electric vehicle batteries piling up in scrapyards, according to Reuters.

Matthew Avery, research director at automotive risk intelligence company Thatcham Research, said the goal of electric vehicles was sustainability, but the inability to be repaired is creating a whole new problem.

"We're buying electric cars for sustainability reasons," Avery said, Reuters reported. "But an EV isn't very sustainable if you've got to throw the battery away after a minor collision."

Someone should let them know that saltwater is highly corrosive.

Whereupon you remove the battery and all the other electrical junk, and turn it into a very large planter.

Starter Story by Pat Walls  January 18th, 2023

Electric vehicle refurbishing involves repairing the failed battery so it can be placed back in the vehicle or sold as a second-hand EV battery.

EV refurbishing offers electric vehicle owners a cheaper option compared to the cost of replacing the failed battery. As electric vehicles become popular, the demand for battery refurbishing services will increase because not every EV owner might afford battery replacement.

Therefore, starting the EV battery refurbish business might offer significant profit margins.
