Nowadays, there are more and more types of transportation on the road, which also enriches the travel mode of ordinary people, the most important means of transportation are four-wheeled cars and two-wheeled electric vehicles, which are the "main force" on the road.
Compared with cars, electric vehicles are more suitable for low-wage people to use, there is such a sentence "electric vehicles are the preferred way of travel below 5,000 yuan per month", although not so absolute, but in fact, it is very reasonable, because, compared to cars, electric vehicles are really cheap, very affordable, it is no exaggeration to say that the car can buy an electric car by adding several fuel costs.
Moreover, electric vehicles are not only very cheap when purchased, it will still be very valuable when it becomes a scrapped vehicle, the main cost of electric vehicles is the battery, and now the old battery of electric vehicles seems to be a sought-after commodity, and there are merchants everywhere who are willing to recycle at high prices, so do you know why? Why are the old batteries of electric vehicles now becoming sought-after goods? Will merchants recycle? Little connoisseurs are here today to share why.
Why can the old batteries of electric vehicles become a hot commodity? Merchants are willing to recycle at a high price?
Why the old battery is popular, in fact, and its structure has a relationship, the current electric vehicle equipped with 80% of the battery, are lead-acid batteries, and the battery within 80% to 90% of the components, all belong to the lead material, and as a metal, lead and iron, can be re-refined into lead, into a new product, and, although the new product is used is non-native lead, but the quality is through the relevant detection, the battery life will not be shortened, for manufacturers, the use of recycled lead and native lead, There is not much difference in quality.
In recent years, the market price of mined lead is also rising, as an electric vehicle battery, 12 pounds of battery, can extract about 9 pounds of lead, through the old battery recycling and refining the cost of lead, lower than the cost of merchants to buy new mined primary lead, which is the real reason why the old battery has become a sought-after commodity.
Now there are many factories across the country that recycle the lead of old batteries, that is, through the recycling of old batteries through technology recycling, and then cooperate with battery manufacturers to enter the market, and merchants as an important link in recycling, they are "profitable" in the middle, basically each group of batteries can profit from about 80 yuan, therefore, merchants will be willing to recycle at a high price or replace old batteries with new batteries.
Of course, in addition to the regular manufacturer recycling, there are also some old batteries on the market, will flow into some unqualified manufacturers, small workshops, they will repair the battery, refurbishment, compared to the recycled battery, in the quality, endurance, after-sales are guaranteed, such refurbished batteries, in all aspects are not guaranteed, if the owner chooses such a battery, there will be a fast decline in battery life, the use is not long.
Why aren't lithium batteries for electric vehicles sought-after?
However, the lead-acid battery of electric vehicles only occupies about 80% of the market, and some of the market for electric vehicles is mainly occupied by lithium batteries, so as one of the main electric vehicle batteries, why are old lithium batteries not sought-after goods, and merchants are unwilling to recycle it?
This is mainly because lithium batteries are different from lead-acid batteries, its raw materials and manufacturing processes are different, the main component of lithium batteries is "lithium metal", and the manufacturing process of lithium batteries is higher than that of lead-acid batteries, although "lithium metal" is valuable, however, it has excellent requirements for the refining technology of manufacturers, and the cost is relatively high, in the current situation, focusing on refining "lithium metal" compared to recovering lead-acid batteries "lead", it is obvious that the latter is more cost-effective.
Moreover, the raw materials of lithium batteries are relatively safe, not treated, and will not cause pollution to the environment, therefore, there is no complete industrial chain for lithium battery recycling on the market, which makes the merchant "unprofitable", and the merchant will naturally not be willing to recycle the old electric vehicle lithium battery.
Summary: The recycling of the old battery of electric vehicles is actually a win-win thing, for the owner, it can reduce the economic loss of the newly purchased battery, for the merchants and manufacturers, are "profitable", however, the small connoisseur should remind that there are many professional acquisitions of old batteries in life, they are often the battery into the small workshop, resulting in some quality of refurbished batteries into the market, and finally the majority of car owners pay for this, therefore, when the owner needs to recycle the old battery, or choose some regular businesses.
So, how do you handle the old batteries of your electric car? Comments are welcome.
