Chevy Bolt EV is back on track after battery problem resolved

GM’s EV ambitions have taken a major blow in recent days with multiple recalls and battery-related fires on its Bolt EV. It even had to work with LG Energy Solutions, its battery supplier, to stop production and fix a defect that was causing these fires. Now it seems that these issues have been resolved and the battery production has been resumed by LG. This issue was not just for the Chevy Bolt EV, but many Hyundai vehicles were also suffering from it. GM was forced to announce that all Bolt EVs sold between 2017 and 2022 would get a battery replacement, which GM opposed.
