From Transport Evolved.
We’ve been covering battery fires and subsequent battery recalls for Chevrolet Bolt EVs now since late 2020 – and last year, we postulated that the recall is likely finally over.
But last week, Chevrolet told owners of 2020-2022 Bolt EVs (who have yet to get the recall carried out) that they won’t be getting a battery back but instead a battery software monitoring solution that will keep an eye on the battery – and only mark a car as one that requires its battery replaced if it deems necessary.
Here’s what we know – and what to do next.
