Chevy Bolt Battery Recall: How Could This Have Happened?​

Every Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV that GM has made is under recall because their batteries could be defective and cause a fire.

Well, because GM. Yes I daily drive a GM but not a big fan of them.

GM gets their batteries from LG.

Owners are told to not park in the garage, might catch the house on fire, but it is likely most charging stations are in the garage so they can't even charge the cars.

Is a small price to pay for stopping GLOBAL Warming.

I almost bought a new old stock 2019 Bolt last year. I didn't because I hated the interior. Otherwise, it was fun to drive and had the right range for driving around town for a day or two or three and recharge in my garage. I hadn't set out looking for an EV and wasn't really interested until I drove it. My daily commute is 70 miles, the Bolt made a lot of sense.
It's too bad a somewhat rare pair of battery manufacturing defects has tarnished these cars. The vast majority are just fine, but a few have these defects that can't be identified without taking the battery pack apart.
The next generation of GM EVs will use a different battery technology. Too bad they don't have replacement battery packs for the Bolt that use that.

GM/Chevrolet end of story! Have not owned either in over 35 yrs. You take an old horse to a dry waterhole just once.

$$$ goes to China with every battery bought. They have the market locked up pretty tight
