Chevy Volt catches fire weeks after crash, prompting closer look at safety. The NHTSA put the Volt thru a 20 mph side-impact test to see if it deserved a 5-star crash safety rating. The results? Can we get a mulligan here? “The crash punctured the Volt’s lithium-ion battery, and after more than three weeks of sitting outside, the vehicle and several cars around it caught fire.” Unsafe at any speed, including zero. It’s the vehicular version of socialism.
