We've been covering battery fires and subsequent battery recalls for Chevrolet Bolt EVs now since late 2020 - and last year, we postulated that the recall is likely finally over.

But last week, Chevrolet told owners of 2020-2022 Bolt EVs (who have yet to get the recall carried out) that they won't be getting a battery back but instead a battery software monitoring solution that will keep an eye on the battery - and only mark a car as one that requires its battery replaced if it deems necessary.

Here's what we know - and what to do next.
