General Motors Extends Production Shutdown of the Chevy Bolt EV Until Sept 24 Due to Battery Recall

​U.S. automaker General Motors is extending the production shutdown of the Chevy Bolt EV after the automaker recalled all of the vehicles due to the risk of battery fires. GM hoped to quickly resume production of the fully-electric Bolt EV at its Orion Assembly plant in Michigan, but the automaker said it’s now dealing with a “battery pack shortage” and will suspend production of the Bolt another two weeks until Sept 24.
