    50,000 Bolts recalled due to fire risk while parked. Advised not to be driven or parked inside. Ouch.

    50,000 Chevy Bolt EVs Recalled, Owners Told Not to Park in Garage

    This is Tesla's real lead in the EV race. Sure new and old companies will follow with EVs but more than a decade of improvements to the battery has value that is difficult to calculate.

    OMG, those EV's are so much more dangerous than ICE cars have ever been!

    Ridiculous.

    The proper thing to do is to nerf the battery and stay silent when customers complain.

    Wow. A recall with no real fix and no known root cause. That’s not good.

    It’s one thing to have to park an ICEV outside. More of a pain to do it with an EV that needs to get charged regularly.

    And after all those years of scaremongering about spontaneous battery fires in the Volt that weren’t an actual thing, now it’s *actually* happening in the Bolt. Sheesh.

    Another GM failure. Barra could not manage her way out of a wet paper bag. Just nuts and Bolts.

    Alsoo LG Chem cells like the Kona, but LG Chem can probably only blame LG Automotive for this one.
