We wanted to comment here to address some of the common questions in this thread about the Bolt EV recall. Well, today GM broke their silence via a comment on the Chevy Bolt EV Owners Facebook Group announcement post: We’re just a few days away from their big Bolt EV refresh and new EUV model announcement scheduled for February 14 that they’ve teamed up with Disney for. Just a couple of days ago their Super Bowl Commercials emphasized their all electric future (while firing a few tongue-in-cheek shots at Norway). A post-temporary-fix Kona caught fire a couple weeks ago. The company is in the middle of trying to convince the world that they are prepared for an all-electric future, with their only Battery EV vehicle having a still unresolved battery recall. (I wonder if Tesla is having second thoughts about using LG?) We’re at a tumultuous time for GM. None of these recalls have been resolved yet.

All of this has fueled suspicions that it is more than just a localized problem and something more systemic in their entire battery technology. LG then also recalled some home stationary battery systems a month after the Bolt’s recall. The Kona uses a very similar, but not identical, battery to the Bolt’s 2017-2019 model years. Hyundai did a similar recall to all their Kona EVs a month earlier. (Well, 95% actually, more on that later.) GM and LG Engineers are diligently working to resolve the issue.įor those of you not keeping score, this isn’t the only LG related battery recall that has been going on lately. The temporary fix, which owners have been urged to go to the dealership to have applied for free, reduces the charge limit to 90%. Chevy broke their nearly 3-month silence since the Bolt recall to provide a small update via a Facebook group comment.Įver since the November 13 Bolt EV Battery Recall announcement, eager Chevrolet Bolt owners have been waiting to hear about the progress of the recall.
