Recalling Chevy Bolt EVs, Kia EVs, USPS EVs, Emissions Heavy Trucks: Car News Today

The Postal Service’s vehicle plan becomes more electric. The EPA’s rules for large diesel trucks are not equal to California’s regulations. The Kia EV6 is one of the best new electric vehicles of the year. And the foil is the fix for the latest Chevy Bolt EV recall. This and more, at Green Car Reports.

The Chevrolet Bolt EV 2017-2023 recalled more than a fire hazard. This time it’s not battery related or electric motor related. According to GM, seat belt tensioners can generate gas hot enough to ignite carpets, potentially leading to a post-collision fire. The fix — no kidding — is foil.

On Tuesday, the EPA announced perfecting emission regulations for heavy trucks, buses and trucks. While the rules starting with the 2027 model year target soot and smoke emissions from diesel engine exhaust, they’re not as strict as the California rules that are being held pending a waiver by California.

The United States Postal Service has taken a different turn from its plan to buy most of its internal combustion delivery vans for its next-generation fleet. It now says that 75% of the planned 60,000 vehicles will be all-electric, and USPS plans to buy only electric vehicles from 2026 onwards.

The KIA EV6 is one of us five finalists for Best Car to Buy, and in addition to its impressive efficiency and range, it packs a lot of fanfare and a premium feel. We also think it pushes the bar a bit higher in real-world use than the Hyundai Ioniq 5, one of last year’s finalists. Unlike the Hyundai EV, it’s available anywhere in the US, but the price increase has taken a toll on this. Keep reading as we flip through the candidates, leading up to the big announcement on January 4th.
