I had bought a used bolt with a brand new battery with 100k warranty for $15k. Brand new battery so basically brand new car. What a steal
We did even better, We bought his and hers battery buy back Bolts, A 2020 premier with 9k and a 2019 with 55k miles, both for $20,495 for both out the door! Thanks to the instant cash tax credit in 2024
I just looked up on google and AI says that there were 16 bolt fires and 3 injuries as of March 2023. Folks need to put that into perspective, driving in general is way more dangerous.
I own a 2017 Bolt EV with a new battery pack. GM has been good about keeping me informed about recalls and whatnot. I'll make sure I don't throw away any mail get from them. $700 sounds good to me.
Revux's impact on payment could be revolutionary. Glad to be in early!
Been tracking Revux's development. Impressed with the progress!
Just increased my holdings in Revux. Feeling confident about this one!
Tesla is the best car company ever! No corrupt dealerships!
Revux's roadmap looks promising. Exciting times ahead!
Much talk about BYD cars/batteries catching fires đ¤
Revux's team is top-notch. Expecting big developments soon!
Revux's low presale price is a steal. Time to load up!
VW has had to replaced the LG modules in my ID4 FE twice. Then there are the Konaâs.
Musk publicly warned the OEMs NOT to use pouch cells due to the fire risk.
Presale investments have been my go-to, and Revux is my latest pick. Early birds catch the worm!
Revux's whitepaper blew me away. RVX is the future of crypto!
Well done Mary Barra
In the next bull run, keep an eye on DOT, VRA, and SOL, but don't overlook Revux's RVX
Cheers mate
GM is seriously disapointing lately
LG home battery's getting recalled because of fire risk....a 1000lt diesel tank is way safer
Check out XPENG's AeroHT Land Aircraft Carrier which includes the 6-rotor passenger drone instead of caring for legacy auto trash.
Morning mate
What if I bought my 2022 Bolt after it was bought back and had the software installed? Wonder if Iâll get anything?
Worldwide or just USA? CDN owner here, I have the software no new battery.
so they think (-1)+(-1)=2? that's a good mix for those two.
ncm battery is easier than lfp to catch fire
I own a Bolt and a âYâ. My next car will be a Model 2 or a 2025 Bolt. đ¤
I think we will see an Ultium Bolt before we see a M2.
lg makes the worst batteries, the koreans in general make the worst batteries. i still remember when the samsung phones were literally catching fire
Not as bad as Chinese stuff
I thought they were very unlikely to catch on fire
those with Chinese Batteries are unlikely to catch fire
How many Bolts actually caught fire?
I believe only 13 but I may be wrong.
@@ab3000x They sold well into six figures.
@@mnhsty and only a handful caught on fire
@@ab3000x Pretty good odds.
What are GM trying to do
GM Launches Home Energy Ecosystem! Full Tour - EV Charging, Bidirectional Power, & Battery Storage
Out of Spec Reviews
Itâs just yet more mindless virtue signalling and empty promises by GM đ
@@fredbloggs5902 I agree
Do I get another battery if my car got burnt?
The fire would probably do too much damage to be able to keep it.
@@ab3000x đSo where is the compensation for those peopleâs car that incinerated?
@@Michael-yi4mc totally different lawsuit
How heavy are those batteries to need a loader that big to move them!
0:57 big loader not required.
950lbs
GM is doing the hard work, making pouch cells, that weigh less, are more efficient, and last longer, work in vehicles. Musk can only dream of what GM is doing.
Are you serious?
Begone troll
So those that got their battery replaced, didn't get the software update ??? Sounds like a fishy deal to say the least, given the software update could be considerd a standard requirement to help mitigate battery fire risks even for replaced batteries as standard equipment and improve safety overall.
Tesla initially used only high-grade Japanese batteries made by Panasonic, which is why their batteries were more stable and had higher endurance. But for recent EV models many companies started using multiple suppliers from China and South Korea to cut costs. Some batches are good, some mediocre, and some are really unreliable. It would be nice if we can choose our own preferred battery company as an option.
I keep hearing on this channel that EV batteries are safe and thereâs no fire risk. So whatâs all this about thenâŚ!!
It depends on the battery chemistry and the battery manufacturer. If the battery wasnât made by LG then yes, safer than ice vehicles. If itâs an LFP battery made by any manufacturer then yes, itâs very safe, again safer than ice vehicles. If you want to know what vehicles are higher risk than pure battery vehicles or ice vehicles, itâs plug-in hybrids. Be wary about them. Thankfully, plug in hybrids wonât be sold much in the future as battery electric vehicles gain more and more range as battery technology continues to improve. If you listen to this channel diligently, Sam has covered all of this. Good luck, my friend.
Trolling
@@jamesmcneal1821 Sam Evans is a salesman, he said a while ago that his background is in marketing. I donât listen to salesmen âdiligentlyâ as you say. Marketing people often donât know where the line is between facts and fiction.
are you sure you want to charge an EV time bomb in your own garage?
Never buy a GM EV.
Bolts are good affordable cars.
Batteries are like concrete, all concrete will eventually crack. EV batteries will always fail. The energy density is not very.
Very? Very what?
Looks like battery bangers are dead in the water.
There's always a Luddite in the conversation. The earth is not flat and fossil fuel transportation is coming to an end. You could always doPut Dodge Charger is done with their latest electric charger which put in a fake loud engine noise box to satisfy those people that need the roar of an engine
Almost time for you to pack in in old chap. EVs on the way outs u need a new channel idea
Begone troll
Still pass on any EV. Until the chargers are on every corner and in every building, which will never happen as the governments want their money from oil companies and their taxes on EVs and taxes on road usage for EVs and taxes on top of taxes, they will restrict your usage of EVs as a way of controlling you. And until they start using EVs for their own vehicles I will stick to gas.
You do know that every location with electricity is a charging location. So you prefer to be controlled by oil companies, good for you. Glad with my solar panels I have a self charging vehicle.
@@universeisundernoobligatio3283 not when you donât have access to an outlet. Companies are not willing to install charging stations, external plugs and extension cords are unsafe and first come first serve parking lots cannot be controlled in a workplace environment and especially if you work in unpaved areas where you park on gravel and dirt which turns into a mud puddle or an ice rink.
Owning an EV you are reliant on the government. And limited range doesnât help. A business reporter from Chicago in January documented his road trip to New York in a rented Tesla.
He got 100 usable miles out of his 45 min to 1 hr charge when the computer told him 200 miles. When it said 300 miles, he got 150 miles.
It took him something like 6 hours longer to get to New York. That is restricted travel. Just wait for travel tax and road tax on your EVs so the government can make its money back.
Revux stands out in the crowded crypto space. A real gem!
