Report: GM to redesign Chevrolet Volt battery
GM CEO Dan Akerson has said that the company may redesign the battery of the Chevrolet Volt to address issues raised after the NHTSA opened a safety probe into the plug-in electric car.
“We want to assure the safety of our customers, of our buyers, and so we’re just going to take a time out, if you will, in terms of redesigning the battery possibly,” Akerson told Reuters in an interview.
