DETROIT (AP) — General Motors says it will start making Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles again in early April after an eight-month pause due to a series of battery fire recalls.
The automaker says Tuesday that battery supplier LG Energy Solution is now making enough to supply replacement modules for the recalls as well as to resume production.
The company will start making hatchback and SUV versions of the Bolt on April 4 at a factory north of Detroit. Those should start reaching dealers a few weeks later. Vehicles on dealer lots at the time of the recalls can be sold once battery modules are replaced.
In August GM expanded a previous recall to more than 140,000 Bolts sold worldwide since 2016 because battery manufacturing defects could cause the vehicles to catch fire.
To capture U.S. electric vehicle market share leadership, GM plans to spend $35 billion to roll out more than 30 new battery vehicles globally by 2025, including about 20 in North America. The company has said it aspires to make only electric passenger vehicles by 2035.

“Or when one is frustrated by a liar. Go whine little snowflake, maybe the admins will save you so you can peddle your incoherent clap-trap.”
You have really lost it. Take your meds.

“Not true. A 110 v charger can give you 40+ miles of range drawing little more than a hair dryer.”
From post 32:
“A Level 1 charger draws 1920 watts.”
A little basic electricity for you, P=VI, I=P/V, 16A=1920W/120V.
Prove that the there is 50% excess capacity in the summer.
“You have really lost it. Take your meds.”
First you lie. Then you obfuscate, then you whine to the admins that I’ve been mean to you. Now, you attack me personally. And I’ve lost it?

I did not lie, obfuscate or whine to the moderators. My ‘take your meds’ comment was in response to your multiple childish rant attacking me.

What are the watts/hr you referred to?
“I did not lie, obfuscate or whine to the moderators. My ‘take your meds’ comment was in response to your multiple childish rant attacking me.”
Wow. I’ve wasted too much time on you.
“Wow. I’ve wasted too much time on you.”
And not one time have you refuted my facts.
“And not one time have you refuted my facts.”
Go away misinformed, agenda driven little girl.

Both true. Remember I was trying to bring you back to reality when you stated that charging required 32 amps at 240 volts.
“Go away misinformed, agenda driven little girl.”
I see you didn’t take your meds ...
““From post 29:

1920 is a little more than 1875. Case closed!
“Go away misinformed, agenda driven little girl.”
I certainly corrected a lot of your misinformation.!
“2000 watts:”
I should have been much more specific for the very literal. No common, home use hair dryer.
2000 W / 120V = 16.667A.
That will trip the breaker for any standard circuit.
Now go away.
Do you now also agree that 1920 is ‘a little more ‘ than 1875?
“No hair dryer takes 1920W, that’s 16A, again over the rating of any standard outlet. “
Most of my 120v circuits are 20 Amp and all have standard outlets.
