    What Owners Say

    Electric/hybrid battery pack replacement

    "Battery failure. Required new battery. Lost use of car for one week while replacement shipped from east coast (I live in California). New battery will not get 8 year warranty but will get only 4 years left on original battery."

    Anonymous, CA (2022 Chevrolet Bolt 2LT Electric)

    "Battery was recalled due to the chance of a fire. Battery was replaced and the car is running great and battery life is inline as always advertised."

    Anonymous, MI (2022 Chevrolet Bolt 2LT Electric)

    ""CHEVROLET limited my range/charging with software to 80% and then 70%. The car did heat up the Lectron charger when it charged in an environment that was not cool (50 degrees or less) and the charging would cease until it cooled off. Ultimately, CHEVROLET replaced the battery with a new battery in 2024.""
