Hi,
I own a 2011 24kwh Nissan Leaf. The battery had lost 3 bars, but still doing 40 miles, which was good for my commute.
Last week the hand break motor broke, and the cost to repair it is >4000£ (with other small things), which is about what i paid for the car, so i am not repairing it.
The car is in a Nissan dealer, and they have no clue what to do with the dead car.
My guess is that the battery is worth something? are there companies specialised in that? I have been googling but cannot see anything in UK.
Any idea what to do with the car? just scrap it? Are there garages/companies willing to buy those batteries?
I see some articles about recycling the battery to use solar panels at home, but just about it.
Thanks,
