Burnt-Out Electric Car Ends Up in the Junkyard — But Workers Find Something Totally Unexpected

The 64.8 kWh Battery Pack Remained Intact

This Kia e-Niro variant was equipped with a 64.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, integrated into the vehicle’s chassis for optimal protection and weight distribution.

Despite the visible exterior damage, diagnostic equipment showed that the high-voltage system was still functional.

• The dashboard activated normally
• Electronic systems responded without errors
• The electric drivetrain engaged properly
• The SUV was able to move under controlled conditions

With only 6,000 kilometers on the odometer, much of the vehicle’s front assembly remained in near-new condition.

While the structural damage meant it would not return to the road, the most expensive component — the battery system — had survived.
