recell.retailer, a UK on-line market for used electrical car batteries and a subsidiary of Batteryhas launched the All Battery Index (ABI), a month-to-month benchmark that tracks the market worth of end-of-life EV battery packs within the UK. The ABI goals to supply a standardized reference for second-life use and recycling, addressing the shortage of transparency and pricing consistency within the rising used battery sector
The Could 2025 version of the index contains knowledge on the 15 top-selling EV fashions within the UK. In line with recell.retailer, the Audi This fall e-tron and Polestar 2 held the very best worth, primarily based on real-time market knowledge and the corporate’s proprietary grading and pricing framework. The index is on the market on-line at www.recell.retailer/abi-benchmark-index.
The ABI makes use of a structured valuation mannequin incorporating parameters akin to state of well being (SOH), state of cost (SOC), remaining capability, pack dimension, and steel restoration potential. Battery packs are assigned R Grades—R1 to R4—primarily based on their suitability for reuse or recycling. For instance, R4 batteries with SOH and SOC above 80 p.c are thought-about appropriate for second-life use, whereas R1 batteries are deemed unsuitable for reuse.
“The ABI is a key step towards unlocking the true worth of used EV batteries and bringing construction to a fragmented and opaque market,” stated Dr Christian Marston, Chief Working Officer at Altilium. “We consider the ABI will grow to be the go-to benchmark for battery reuse and recycling within the UK.”
Rod Savage, Head of Operations at recell.retailer, added, “Our imaginative and prescient is to make end-of-life battery buying and selling as clear and environment friendly as buying and selling some other commodity. ABI supplies the pricing spine for that ecosystem, serving to members navigate this rising asset class with confidence.”
The launch of the ABI expands recell.retailer’s choices, which already embrace a large stock of used battery packs on the market throughout the UK. The platform helps transactions between dismantlers, OEMs, insurers, and different stakeholders within the battery reuse and recycling worth chain.
