The Chevy Bolt Recall & The EV Battery Fire Problem
I tend to think the EV Battery Fire debacle is a whole lot of bull about nothing -- cars catch on fire from time to time, as powering them takes a lot of energy, and when you have energy you have fuel -- be in the form of the battery or gasoline. And both burn really well. But it's good they are fixing this issues now before the cars become even more popular.
I thought about getting an Chevy Bolt eventually, they might be a good car once the bugs are worked out fully. Kind of like the Corvair, which was said to be a great car by the late 1960s. That said, I have a friend whose had a few issues with her Bolt -- making random noises and other issues and GM has been a bit difficult to work with ove warranty work. My other, much bigger issue with the Bolt is it doesn't use a heat pump but only resistance heating, which means running the heat in the winter can be very taxing on the batteries, leaving to quick discharge.
