There have been many misconceptions about the Chevy Volt in the past several months. There was a fire in a Chevy Volt that occurred after standard safety crash testing. However, the facts of that testing and its outcomes have been widely misrepresented.
The truth of the matter is that after taking place in part of standard safety test procedures performed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a totaled Volt was set aside with a partially charged battery. Several weeks later, that battery caught fire. The fire was investigated and it was determined that the battery was damaged in the crash causing it to leak coolant over time and that created an electrical short. GM is unaware that any real crashes would result in a battery related fire. Even so, GM is still taking steps to ensure even better safety standards to the already top rated Chevy Volt.
