With the latest bad news on the 2017-2019 Bolt EV's, do we think GM is getting nervous about batteries, and more so their understanding of what is causing thermal runaways?
My answer is Gosh, I sure hope not, however GM has one chance to get Ultium right, and if there are problems it will be a big setback for GM's electrification plans. My faith in GM's understanding of the problems in the Bolt is a bit shaken after a freshly software updated Bolt EV caught fire last week. This could be a sign that GM does not fully understand what is going on to cause the issues which would be worrying. Anyway, don't want to go too far on this topic, and turn it into FUD, but wonder how the members here that drive Bolt Ev's are feeling ??
