Chevrolet Addresses Bolt Fire Risks By Limiting Battery Charge to 80%

GM announced that it is starting to roll out a new software update to Chevy Bolt EVs as part of its recall due to battery fire risks.

It will limit the state-of-charge to 80%, but it will remove other restrictions, like not being able to park inside garages.

For months, we have been reporting on the mounting pressure to have GM recall the Bolt EV after several cars caught on fire while charging.
