So the current and growing stories about GM redesigning, consumer hesitating and all had me look deeper into the details of the crash where batteries broke out.
Its standard operating procedure to drain a gasoline tank after a crash. Why didn’t they drain the battery after the crash? No reason given. Tempest in a teapot.
This story is smelling of politics now. But let’s remember that the Volt program was started under Republican presidency (Bush), so there’s no blaming the Democrats for this….yet somehow in the upcoming presidential race…everything can be anyone’s fault…anytime and any place.
Should make for continued fodder until GM comes out with a definitive statement and other makers continue plowing into the market (as BMW and Mitsubishi have already announced).
