    Commuting 160 miles in a Spark EV

    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...

    How many miles on your Saprk EV

    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.

    100,000 miles on Spark

    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.

    Battery Degradation vs Battery Limited Warranty

    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...

    Found brand new 2014 Spark EV batteries online

    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.

    Battery Degradation vs Battery Limited Warranty

    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...

    100,000 miles on Spark

    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...

    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...

    List your miles and MPGe

    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.

    Miles vs age on battery degrading question

    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...
