GM extends halt of Bolt production to mid-OctoberBloombergGeneral Motors Co (GM) said it would extend downtime at its Chevy Bolt electric-vehicle plant for another three weeks due to a battery pack shortage, as the company recalls the vehicles over fire risks. GM said it would continue to work with its supplier to “update manufacturing processes” and would evaluate additional production schedule adjustments. General Motors factory workers connect a battery pack to a partially assembled Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle in Orion, Michigan, on March 19, 2018. GM added that it is cutting production at six other North American assembly plants because of an ongoing chip shortage. The automaker told Bolt owners to limit the charge to 90 percent, plug in more frequently and avoid depleting the battery to below about 112km of remaining range.
