 GM Asks Chevy Bolt Owners To Park 50 Feet Away From Other Cars

We can arguably say that GM is taking the necessary precautions to try to keep people safe. It has recalled every single Bolt EV and Bolt EUV ever built. With the recall, the cars’ battery packs will be replaced, they will get more range, and the warranty will start fresh.

Added to this, GM has issued several instructions to help Bolt owners assure that they don’t end up hurt or killed, and, moreover, that others aren’t put in potentially dangerous situations. We’ve also heard that GM will supply a loaner and cover gasoline purchases for Bolt owners, though we’ve read in several forums that getting the loaner and the gas paid for has been a huge chore.

Now, GM has asked all Bolt owners to be sure to park on the top level of parking decks, at least 50 feet away from all other cars. Sure, this is a huge inconvenience, but that’s not the biggest issue. Rather, it will prove impossible in many situations. Imagine telling a parking attendant you need a spot on the top deck, far away from other cars because your car may catch fire?

According to GM via Reuters, the new safety instructions should work to:

But you can park it in your garage? 

Man, its sad people are getting duped into buying these EV's.  Maybe we should start locking some envirowhackos into some of these EV's, for endorsement reasons.

That might make the problem self-correcting....

Didn't the Feds buy a bunch of these?

Parking structures should be banning all EVs as potential fire hazards.

Wonder how the MSM will cover a large parking garage EV fire when a couple dozen people die, and several million dollars of cars burn up?

Is the Bolt the a half a century later analogy of this oldie but goody?

So now EVs have to social distance and live in quarantine?  They're spreading the dreaded "Fire Virus!"
