Salvage Leaf/Volts for batteries or chargers

Sadly most of them I find I don't think I could salvage more than maybe a wheel off of

2012 Chevrolet Volt Mv-907A Salvage Certificate Title Car for sale in Rochester, NY at Copart Auto Auction Lot 17812702

If the battery would have somehow survived (doubtfull) I could have probably a $600 lithium ion battery pack

Ah well.

Wow, the Volt must be so quiet the freight train didn't hear it coming. I just hope the car was unoccupied when it rolled off a cliff.

If the battery pack is still somewhere amongst the twisted metal, I'd bet most of the cells survived the blow. It could probably be rebuilt unless there was short that damaged all of the cells.

Granted you may get a steal on the pack, then you got to get a bms and charger. Ive seen deals on various ev sites, ebay and group buys. Just got to keep searching.
