I’ve heard these batteries are obsolete and don’t use the same technology as GM’s newest stuff. How many of the public will get that message or understand it? And are these obsolete batteries even still in production? Do they exist large enough numbers to support the recall?
Actually it is a good deal for older Bolt owners. At about the time you would need replacement batteries, you get a free upgraded set of batteries.
It would be cheaper for GM to just buy back the cars. But that would be admitting failure.
