Chevy has started offering some Bolt owners rebates of up to $6,000 as a \u201cgoodwill reimbursement\u201d for anyone who bought one of the battery-powered EVs shortly before the company made them significantly cheaper<\/a>. However, as Jalopnik<\/em> points out<\/a>, taking the rebate means agreeing to never sue the company for any present or future issues with the car or its battery or join any class action suits related to the Bolt.<\/p>\n

Given that Bolt had to be recalled<\/a> twice<\/a> following several battery fires (and the fact that the recall was expanded to include pretty much every model of the car<\/a>), it may be an uncomfortable agreement for some. However, most people who were actually affected by the battery problems won\u2019t be the ones having to decide whether to take the money or not. <\/p>\n
