Consumer Description

We need NHTSA to require that GM replace all batteries immediately. Allowing cars that might bust into flames is not acceptable. The 2017-2019 Bolts now have effectively 144 miles of range. Charging up to 90% of 238-mile total range gives you 214-miles of range at the new "full charge". And leaving 70 miles of range as your new 0 miles of range will bring you to a total range of 144 miles. Not allowing me to park my car in my garage because of fire hazards makes the matter even worst.
