Owners of 2017-2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV models have had to contend with a reduced driving range for many months, as GM attempted to find a remedy for a battery related fire issue that culminated with a plan to replace all battery modules.

Now GM has confirmed that it's stepping up by offering a significant range boost for those earlier Bolt EVs.

Around August 18, 2021, customers with recalled 2017-2019 Bolts started receiving recall-related letters that said that all modules would be replaced by new ones, giving an 8% increase in capacity/range.

The new modules are probably less expensive to produce than the old ones (less cobalt?), and compatible with the other existing hardware and software (at least the most recent updated software) in the car.

Per yesterday’s comment from GM, until LG can produce a verifiably defect free product, this all goes nowhere. It looks like a lot of wait and see.
