Damn.....

Poor PDL went out and sang the Bolt's praises for a couple rants now too..

 

[Ed753]

From the story:


"GM said it found five vehicles in which the batteries caught fire without any impact, injuring two people with smoke inhalation."

TRANSLATION: They didn't die, but their house burned to the eff'ing ground.



The good news in all this, when everyone's house burns to the ground, we can build them back better!

Yeah, now they'll be bolting from the Bolt.

 

[rand49er]

Don't park in the garage?!! That's where 99% of the owners charge their Bolts!

Power extension cord I guess, time to run to Lowe’s... no?

Presumably he has a 2020, but no doubt he will be aware of this recall.

The NHTSA began their investigation in October 2020: https://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f13/nhtsa-investigating-chevrolet-bolt-fires-298801/

It's a good thing I charge and park mine in between fuel tankers at work.

Is the Bolt a Opel engineered GM vehicle?

Ohhhhhhhhh


We have a new scapegoat for GM's ****ups i see :fall:

99.93% but yeah.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a fire-hazard.....

 

[emh]

Not good that multiple large automakers are having EV fire issues. This comes on the heels of Hyundai's stop sale and recall of Kona EVs for battery fires. I believe they both use LG batteries.

Sounds like we have an Opel fanboi here! How's that new Commodore ?!.

I was merely asking if Opel had a hand in engineering the Bolt platform so I could trash Opel...not make excuses for the shoddy things GM does.

Did Opel engineer the Kona EV as well ?.

At the time of product development Opel was part of GM

See how easy it is to use them as a scapegoat once they get divorced from GM?

I mean - I saw guys on this forum saying it wasnt Opel that developed platforms it was GM detroit

BUuuuut now?

lol

I'm just having a little fun you can see how from some members here this will happen eh

 

[Extreme4x4]

Zero............... Zero............... Zero.

 

[1999 White C5 Coupe]

Zero............... Zero............... Zero.

Zero defects and zero electrical fires are not part of the equation.

Zero defects and zero electrical fires are not part of the equation.

But... if it keeps snowballing... it(they) will be ZERO.

 

[VS Ute 5Litre]

Zero............... Zero............... Zero.

Funnily enough in Australia 0 0 0

Is the emergency services number much like 911 is in the U.S

So you would be calling Zero zero Zero when your Bolt catches fire :lmao:
