LG also had issues with the Cell’s in the Chevrolet Bolt EV and the Hyundai Kona Electric. The defect in the Hyundai Kona was a misalignment caused by a folded anode tab. Hyundai stopped making the then Kona Electric for its own market after the company recalled 76,000 Kona EVs because of multiple reports of fires in the battery pack. The company continued to Manufacture the then Kona Electric for Europe and the US.
GM said in 2021, it would pursue compensation from LG Energy Solution’s due to the Chevy Bolt EV battery pack recall it had to perform: it was going to spend $1.8 billion repairing 110,324 Bolt EV and EUV units with 2017 to 2022 model years included.
