Everyone I know with a Bolt doesn't do any of these things. They also didn't go get the update.

The batteries only have the problems if 2 different manufacturering defects happen to occur in the same battery.

What I really want to see, but don't expect to happen, is removable batteries for all EVs. Chevy now has to eventually change the battery pack on all Bolts. While they are in there why not install an adaptor that accepts some hypothetical standard battery blocks that can be interchanged at battery swapping stations. Then long charging times can be skipped. No need for the battery to be owned by the car. Make it more like a cash refund for recycling bottles business model.



Less range and more weight. Same reason we have glued in batteries in phones and laptops now.


The tradeoff is 10x faster reenergizing
