Looks like cells from a company that shall not be named.
Lotsa questions: How common are these? Are they used then in other vehicles? Cooling, passive or otherwise? How difficult is it to hook up a good BMS?Yup! That's a module from Chrysler Pacifica by LG. I have two of those running my Polaris Ranger EV.
Edit: I even bought mine from the same company.
Is this because another company uses similar ones in a vehicle whose name rhymes with Jolt?Ack! Edit the name out or that source will get shut down....

After I posted this and had to go do something else, I realized that the question was likely about the Bolt, not the Volt. The Bolt modules use the same thermal management approach as the Pacifica modules, so in the LG Chem family the Pacifica and Bolt are siblings, and the Volt is their cousin.
- The Volt has similar cells, and a similar (but different in details due to cooling method) stack structure, but not the same size and probably not identical internal composition or construction of cells. The Volt and Pacifica modules have some family resemblance, but are far from twins.
