I still occasionally check the used market for SparkEVs, and was very surprised this morning to see that there are currently THIRTY FIVE) SparkEVs for sale within 75 miles of San Jose! (According to cargurus.com) "Best deal" is a 2016 with only 16K miles for $8300. (There's also a 2015 w/ 18.5K mile...

I believe that the vehicle keeps the battery above a certain temp ( ? 2C = 36F ? ) if not plugged in, but if plugged in it will warm the battery to a higher temp.

Won't generic Spark (ICE) floor mats fit? Can't you just go to a "pick N pull" (car wrecker's) and buy mats?
