To resurrect an old thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/up-of-michigan-to-receive-its-first-fast-dc-charger-but.202609/page-2 reported on https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2021/01/04/city-of-norway-gets-fastest-electric-vehical-charge-in-upper-michigan/ which mentions ""With a...

Correct.

I think the S is supposed to refer to a common four letter expletive. :) Funny enough, the OP had previously started a thread on this: http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4234&hilit=collectible. And there's another...

Chevy stops making the Spark EV following the Bolt's arrival: https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/31/chevy-stops-making-spark-ev/ Chevy axes Spark EV in favor of Bolt EV: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/general-motors/2017/01/31/chevy-axes-spark-ev-favor-bolt-ev/97283876/

Source? Even page 5 of http://web.archive.org/web/20140701114438/http://www.americas.fujielectric.com/sites/default/files/DC%20Quick%20Charging%20-%20FEA%20Comparison%20Study%20%20(25kW%20vs%20%2050kW)%207-3-12.pdf doesn't point to anything as cheap as "less than 1/5 of the cost", even if you...

Because SparkevBlogspot brought up supposed "reasons" for the lack of Bolt chatter here. Now that I thought about it a bit more, the below are likely some contributing reasons why there isn't much Bolt chatter here vs. MNL. MNL has 17,808 users vs. 862 on this forum. Leaf is a 50 state...

The 30 kWh Leaf SV and SL w/107 mile EPA range didn't exist until model year 2016. Before that, Leafs were only 24 kWh, like the 2016 Leaf S. Yes, the base S trim Leaf doesn't come w/CHAdeMO inlet but the base Spark EV doesn't come w/DC FC inlet either. I can't speak to the "3.6 kW" or...

Just because it's a standard doesn't mean there aren't compatibility problems. Some folks at https://priuschat.com/threads/charging-pip-using-chevy-volt-110v-charge-cord.106366/ did some compatibility testing before...

You can shame them at https://www.facebook.com/groups/iceholes.ev/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/evassholes. Also, leave notes on these vehicles who are blocking the spots. If possible (proper signage is required), get them ticketed via CA AB 475. Get security to flag these vehicles...

Re: your pricing, huh? Per http://www.nissanusa.com/electric-cars/leaf/versions-specs/version.s.html, MSRP on Leaf S starts at $29,010 vs. Spark EV of $25,120 at http://www.chevrolet.com/spark-ev-electric-vehicle.html. $29,010 - $7,500 = $21,510. There seem to be pretty big incentives of...

Ok, Today, noticed Joan Lunden put up the segment I was talking about on June 29, 2016. It's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnwki1NbMxY. Skip to 1:01. I haven't watched this in ages. If nothing else, 0:30 to to ~1:25 is worth watching. I plan to rewatch all of this soon/tonight.

http://www.chevrolet.com/bolt-ev-electric-vehicle.html now confirms a starting MSRP of $37,495. http://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2016/sep/0920-bolt-pricing.html says that includes destination charge...

No, but as I've said many times already, Tesla actually put wood behind their arrow. I may not like the fact that they came up with an additional "standard", but at least they're damned serious about it and have a TON of infrastructure properly deployed unlike GM who won't fund it...

He could've jumped start it. I had to do that w/my 06 Prius when my dad (who was borrowing it) flattened the 12 volt. It was down below 6 volts.

To disable that, you need to disable power loss alert and cord theft alert. It sounds about 10 seconds after the unplug. It's ridiculous that GM makes these enabled by default on their EVs and PHEVs. It's not conducive to plug sharing and I've met numerous Volt folks who didn't know it could...
