General Motors has announced that the batteries on 50,925 Bolt EVs in the United States could catch fire if fully charged. GM has urged Chevy Bolt owners and lessees not to charge their batteries past 90% and to avoid parking their Bolt in a garage, as the batteries could ignite.
To prevent their Bolt from charging past 90%, GM suggested that owners and lessees should enable either “Hilltop Reserve” in the 2017-2018 models or “Target Charge Level” in the 2019 models, as those modes will limit charging to 90%. While those modes will limit the charging and presumably prevent your Bolt from catching fire, doing so will reduce the EPA-related 239 miles of range by about 25 miles.
