Traction batteries don’t just “conk out”, and I’d bet there is nothing wrong with the battery. Volt owners know all too well that dealership service departments don’t know anything about EVs, don’t want to work on them, and will absolutely tell you a lie so you go away and leave them alone.

Get that car to an independent EV shop and find out what’s really wrong.

When a dealership tells you “oh, it’s the battery, it’s going to cost XXXXX”, they are lying.

I saw a M3 recently with a window sticker that said “I bought it before he went crazy”.
