So the Chevy salesman tells me that the Spark is compatible with the quick charging stations here in Oregon (there is a Blink brand station a few miles from my house that has both quick charging and Level 2).
In reading this forum, it appears there is some type of "what standard to use" war between Chevy and Nissan.
So my question is, are the Sparks really compatible with the quick charging stations we currently have here in Oregon? Or, are Sparks set up to be compatible with a different type of quick charging station, none of which have been built yet here in Oregon?
On balance, I'm leaning toward the Spark for its zippy demeanor, lower down payment (on lease deal), and home charging station credit. The 3yrs of OnStar is a nice perk too.
On the Leaf's side of the balance sheet it's the usual specifications others have mentioned (interior room, faster home charging, and clearly it will work with the fast chargers here).
If anyone can shed light on the fast charging compatibility issue, I would love to hear from you.
