Electric vehicles are quietly upending the scrap car industry: instead of an old engine and transmission waiting to be crushed, an end-of-life EV shows up with a battery pack that may still hold 70-80% of its original capacity. This piece looks at how that changes everything, from batteries getting a second career powering buildings instead of cars, to why two identical-looking scrap EVs can have wildly different values, to the very real regulatory and industry growing pains playing out in Canada right now (including a major recycler's 2025 bankruptcy filing). It argues the scrap industry isn't dying because of EVs, it's being forced to get a lot smarter.https://indibloghub.com/post/scrap-car-recycling
