GM extends its Bolt EV production shutdown until at least mid-October
When exactly Bolt EV production might restart but GM ensured the public that sales will not resume until it has completely examined and corrected the concern, the company has actually not clarified. Per Reuters, GM will continue “to deal with our provider to update making processes” until it is satisfied with the battery’s efficiency and security. There also still no word on when the six production plants that GM closed down due to the chip lack will reactivate. These collective shutdowns have adversely impacted production of the Chevrolet Traverse, Equinox, Blazer, the Buick Enclave, and the GMC Terrain.
After GM shuttered all but four of its plants on account of the continuous worldwide chip lack, the American car manufacturer had to stop production at its Orion assembly plant, where its uncannily combustible Bolt EVs are constructed, on account of the lorry battery recall. The Orion shutdown was only expected to last up until September 24th, to offer GM time to appropriately resolve its battery problems, nevertheless, on Thursday, GM extended that closed down up until a minimum of the middle of October.
