WASHINGTON, Aug 21 — General Motors Co said yesterday it would take a hit of US$1 billion to expand the recall of its Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles due to the risk of fires from the high-voltage battery pack — a blow for the largest US automaker as it seeks to ramp up EV sales.
LG added that it is actively working with its client and partners to ensure that the recall measures are carried out smoothly. LG Electronics has supplied GM with battery modules made with cells produced by LG Chem’s wholly owned battery subsidiary LG Energy Solution . GM and LGES have a joint venture, Ultium Cells LLC, that is building battery cell plants in Ohio and Tennessee, with plans to add two more after that. GM has said it will use a different-generation battery when it launches electric Hummer and Cadillac vehicles over the next year.
The July recall came after GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration urged Bolt owners to park their vehicles outside and away from homes after charging. GM yesterday reiterated that owners of the newly recalled vehicles should park them outside after charging and not leave them charging indoors overnight.
