I used to drive 120 miles a day in my spark. At the time level 3 charging was not available but my car was equipped with it. I would get to work using 50% of my charge. Plug in and charge to full then go home and charge to full again. I have 115K miles now. I only drive 50 miles a day now. I...
I am almost at 112,000 miles. So far only the 12v battery and tires. Still get about 60 miles per charge at 3.8 miles per kwh. Dropped by 10 miles when I changed to non eco tires.
Almost to 112,000 miles. I will try to remember to check after a full charge when I hit the 50% mark to give you all an update. Still only thing I have replaced is the 12v battery and a ton of tires. I do hear a noise now from what I believe is the half shaft. Mainly during initially taking off.
I honestly don't think that's accurate I think it doesn't take into account region because when I did try and track in the past it was all over the place. I think it might be OK to estimate but that's about it. Today I was fully charged when I left my house. 52% says 7.3 key used so I am just...
How many of these are in a Spark? I am way past my warranty at 107,000 miles. I need to find a way to test my battery capacity but am considering use my spark as a test car since I only have 1 payment left and am considering getting a new car soon. If I can add capacity might keep it.
Hey everyone. Haven't been online in a bit and haven't read entire thread but it looks like you have figured out how to test battery capacity. I believe my spark might have highest mileage out there at almost 107k. Anyone in LA area with a tester want to check the capacity to report in the...
I had to replace my 12volt battery, did the recall stuff and that is about it. I do need to take it in and do the 97k service. I just always have issues with chevy dealers not knowing what is supposed to be done. I have 2 payments left then I will take it in for a full workup. I know the cv boot...
I hit 100k today 4 years 3 months and 26 days.. No more warranty has me nervous. At 50% it said 7.4 kWh. I get about 60 miles to the charge averaging 3.8 mpkwh.low miles per key is because of my tires I was at 4.2 on the eco tires and 70 mile range 2 months ago.
Hit 97,000 miles today. Over the last 1,000 miles my average on the dashboard says 4.5 mpkwh. 66 to 70 is what my blue circle says when I leave for work in the morning. Now for many you will get a better range than me. At 5am headed into orange county I usually drive 80 to the governed 90 mile...
Just wanted to post an update. I am now at 96,500 miles. Range usually says about 66 - 70 miles when I am fully charged. I am addicted to the Level 3 option. Mainly because I drive a lot. When I can just top off at home on level one I do.
I tried it again I ran my battery down to basically zero because it popped a message saying charge depleted This time I used level 2 Charging and this definitely does not add up it says I took 21 kilowatts using level 2 Charging and this is from chargepoint site I think they're just...
Today I used my battery down to 1%, then I charged to 100%. Using level 3 charging my battery took 16.99 kwh. I know a small portion of that is wasted on charging but at 77,200 miles I am guessing my capacity to be around 17kwh. I have a 2014 so original capacity is listed at 21kwh. From what I...
