Replacement rate down from Q1 1483/week average to Q2 902/week average. At the Q2 rate it will take another 78 weeks from end June 2022 to largely complete the repairs.
Interesting that there are so many not taking advantage of the recall. I had it done within a week of the recall being announced, even though the risk of fire is SO small. With my 2017 Bolt, the resultant extra range is very nice.
I have the 2017 Bolt EV, and I have test driven the EUV. Its more sluggish and less fun to drive than the Bolt EV. Otherwise, it offers a few electronics upgrades but has very little else to commend it.
That's puzzling. Here's a good recall timeline: (9) Fire recalls summary and timeline - Updated 2/15/22 | Chevy Bolt EV Forum First fire recall. Announced November 13, 2020. Second fire recall. Announced July 23, 2021. Extended second fire recall. Announced August 20, 2021 (2020-2022 cars). Battery replacements begin. Announced October 8, 2021. Most cars are still either not eligible ("Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available") or the dealers are waiting on batteries.
GM are starting production of 2023 models today. It's been claimed that GM have excess battery capacity and producing new Bolts does not slow down the rate of battery replacements in existing Bolts. That prompts the question: so why is it taking so long? Don't know. Transport issues? Dealer sluggishness?
Probably a silly question but do the 2022 euv bolts being shipped to dealers now have the new batteries?
