There are some other EVs, but more $$$ that are rated much better. The Bolt had that jellybean shape - uggg. And has its share of issues.
GM will be conducting a recall of Bolt EVs (2017-2022) and Bolt EUVs (2022) to address the risk of battery fires in these vehicles. Out of an abundance of caution, GM will replace defective lithium-ion battery modules in Chevrolet Bolt EVs and EUVs with new lithium-ion modules.
There are 7 fuel/propulsion system complaints, 5 powertrain complaints, 3 that relate to service brakes, and 2 to do with steering. Airbag, lane departure, suspension, tires, and vehicle speed control issues also feature.
Also, batteries catching on fire isn’t the only issue with batteries. Bradley Berman, who writes for Autoweek, says he leased a Bolt for three years. During that time, his battery pack was replaced three times due to cell failure. The car didn’t go up in flames, it simply stopped on the road leaving him stranded!
Oh by the way batteries come from China. So a purchase profits our ‘enemy’ and probably worker abuse etc etc. yes, be good to the next generation and fund China even more…

I see so your argument is that since they had a problem, you will never buy one.
Battery fires a rare, GM ALREADY replaced ALL the defective batteries.
I have no idea where bolt batteries come from but I know that GM has announced a factory here in the states coming soon. Tesla batteries come from HERE in the US.
As always there is a certain segment of the population that loves to find anything that makes something less than perfect. I remember people saying they would never own. a cell phone - too unreliable. ahem...
