GM warns some Bolt EV owners: Don't park them inside or charge them unattended overnight

• General Motors is telling some owners of 2017-2019 Bolt EVs not to park their vehicles inside or charge them unattended overnight.
• Two of the vehicles caught fire after they were repaired as part of a recall meant to address fire risks.
• GM and NHTSA announced a recall of nearly 69,000 Bolt EVs from the 2017-2019 model years in November.

General Motors is telling owners of 2017-2019 Bolt EVs that were part of a recent recall not to park their vehicles inside or charge them unattended overnight after two of the vehicles caught fire.

The two Bolt EVs were repaired as part of a recall of nearly 69,000 of the vehicles that were flagged for fire risks. The recall was initially announced in November by GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

One of the fires occurred while the vehicle was charging at the home of a Vermont state lawmaker earlier this month. The other fire happened in New Jersey, a spokesman for GM said, adding that it was notified about it earlier this week.

“General Motors has been notified of two recent Chevrolet Bolt EV fire incidents in vehicles that were remedied as part of the safety recall announced in November 2020,” the company said in an emailed statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are asking owners of 2017-2019 Chevrolet Bolt EVs who were part of the recall population to park their vehicles outdoors immediately after charging and not leave their vehicles charging overnight while we investigate these incidents.”

The NHTSA on Wednesday said battery cell packs in the impacted vehicles have the potential to smoke and ignite internally, which could spread to the rest of the vehicle and cause a structure fire if the vehicle is parked inside a garage or near a house

Overcharging heat problem? Appears that way. You'd think this would have been caught long ago during testing.

What's really troubling is the fact that two reports of fires were reported after the vehicles were recalled and supposedly repaired....

Apparently, the company hasn't found a solution yet....

Well, so much for that EV saving the Earth from CO2.
Looks like that fire created more pollution than a gas powered car for its entire life.

All lithium batteries at times get so hot that it ignites. But they will not sell a cheaper aluminum battery that can haul more weight and goes an extra 1.2000 more miles on a full charge. and it is safer and 100% recyclable, not like the hazardous waste lithium batteries.

But the ones who are pushing for this Paris accord. That they had spent a lot of money starting wars so that they could control the world's lithium mines.

But for now, make sure you don't leave anything with a lithium battery alone while being charged.

Reason number 364 as to why I won't buy a EV for a long time until the technology has been battle proven extensively.

I won't buy a EV from any company until they have been out for quite a while and bugs worked out, design flaws throughly researched and the technology is reliable and dependable.

I don't even upgrade my smartphone till 6 or 8 months after it comes out to let any problems come out and updates issued. I don't really spend more than 500 on anything that's new technology as soon as it comes out. The more expensive something gets thats brand new the longer I wait.
