General Motors has issued a recall of over 60,0000 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles. According to Business Insider, the recall is due to at least five incidents of Bolt batteries catching fire. The vehicles affected by the voluntary recall were manufactured between 2017 and 2019. The automaker is working with US auto regulators to identify the causes of the fires. Experts advised owners to park the cars"outside and away from homes" until the repairs can be made. GM said it has developed software that will limit vehicle charging to prevent future incidents.
Finding an available public charging station and initiating a charging session has never been easier for Chevrolet Bolt EV owners. As General Motors moves toward its vision of a world with zero emissions, the company is making enhancements to Energy Assist, a standard feature available in the myChevrolet mobile app for Bolt EV owners.Energy Assist, first available for customers in 2017, currently enables Bolt EV owners to plan and manage their routes more effectively, locate available charging stations – both along their route and in the area – monitor their route and receive real-time alerts if their range projections change dramatically. Energy Assist is integrated with data from the vehicle, which enables intelligent planning and precise charge time predictions.
