from AutoExpert · host John Cadogan
Volvo is recalling almost 35,000 EX-30 battery EVs globally (almost 3000 here in Australia) because the batteries mught just catch fire without warning.All you have to do to enter this lottery is charge to 100%, and see what happens.They don't actually have a fix. The 'fix' (if you can call it that) is to refrain from charging beyond 70%, indefinitely.But that's OK because ... net zero. Obviously.
