We had the same issue. Best part was when we called the dealership and explained several times it was the EV Spark which is different the guys says np he knows how to do it 100% and to come in on saturday. We show up saturday after the 1.5 hour drive to the dealership and he goes straight into...

nothing directly to do with this thread but similar enough, has anyone else noticed their climate control randomly turning on to 100% power?

We've had our spark in the same color for about 6 months now and no paint flaking so far for us.

The Sacramento smud qc works as advertised as well. We've taken it from around 10% to 80% in under 20 and it takes less than 10 mins to get from 80 - 100 as well.

Yea it's 22 cents per kwh and a 23 cent fee.

I've had the battery conditioning come on twice now. Once on a day trip to Sacramento for errands and the other time parked outside while I worked all day. Both times it was around 105 degrees and probably a little hotter on the asphalt. Each time it only used something like 2-3% according to...

I have a feeling a quick charger in Stockton is unlikely though that would make almost all of northern california open to us. As for the drive everything went really well. I've now used the Sacramento quick charger 6 times and every time it worked amazingly. The part of the round trip from...

Ok repeated that round trip again last weekend with much better results. Dropping the AC to 1 and not cruise controlling at 70 mph uphill for 45 mins made the drive easy with about 13 miles to spare(and that was in 106 degree weather). Now today I'm doing an even bigger drive. Heading to the...

Why didn't you just use the quick charger in Sacramento if you wanted to try out a quick charge. Seems like that would be the perfect time to use one. I'm actually thinking of driving from Sacramento to Berkeley in a week for the night. How much did you charge in sacramento(and where?) I figure...

I used the Sacramento SMUD one and it took me from 30% to 96% in about 25 mins. It was odd because it seemed to quick charge almost to 85-90% before it really started slowing down and even then it didn't just drop to L2 speeds it kind of slowly lost speed until it hit around 95%. I thought it...

OK so back from the day and it was interesting. So on the way to Sacramento on the 70 mile drive started at 100% ended at 30%. Hit the Smud SAE Combo and brought it back to 96% in ~20 mins which was pretty great. We spent the day driving all around Sacramento and so we charged up again on it...

Huh I thought just the chademo side was down were both actually down? Thanks for the boot advice I'll try and not get too over the top upset and take a few breaths if that happens.

I actually use to live just around the corner so knowing where to eat won't be a problem. We'll actually probably walk over to the italian deli nearby and just grab some sandwiches for the drive back(we'll probably be pulling into town too early for lunch and too late for breakfast). I guess my...

So tomorrow morning me(logged in as my wife right now) and my father are intending to drive my wife's new spark from Angels Camp, CA to the Sacramento to do some errands. We intend to be using the quick charger at smud (actually right by where we use to live). It's about a 70 mile drive each...

Hi there- I am curious if anyone has experience with programming a new key fob- the dealership could only find one when I purchased my new Spark EV a couple of weeks ago, and just mailed me the second one. I've gone through the steps to program the new key fob in the instruction manual- but the...
