I was attempting to charge this electric car at a greenlots ccs (480volt) charger in kennewick, washington. the car was parked and turned off. a blue arc of electricity shot out of the charger port on the car and came within an inch of my hand. i understand from people who know the science of electricity that i would have been killed if the arc touched my hand. the safety features on the car, the charger or both did not function properly. there is no time when an electric car should emit a lethal arc of electricity. i do not know if the arc came from the battery of the car or from the charger, or both. neither gm/chevy nor the charger company admits there is a safety problem. without a thorough safety investigation we can't tell if the problem is all bolts, all electric cars, all 480v chargers, ccs chargers, greenlots chargers, the greenlot charger in kennewick, wa, or the specific chevy bolt that sent out the lethal arc towards my body. please help!
The left and right sides of the dashboard continue to come loose after multiple fix attempts from the dealer. in the event of an accident, if the airbags fire and the a-pillar trim moves outward the dash parts may be thrown at the car's passengers further injuring them. gm rep stated there is no fix at this time and all the other bolts on the dealer's lot had the same issue so i would have to continue to drive an unsafe car.
Back up cam remains on after i put my car in drive. also a loss of control of the infotainment console. you cannot lower the radio or control your climate control which means when the windshield is fogging up i cannot correct it.
