Well, Carvana wanted my 2015 Spark EV more than I did. Paid $10500 in 11-2018 and 14K miles later got $15000. Never had an issue with it. I changed 2 front tires, replaced the 12 volt battery and 2 sets of wiper blades, that's it. Ended up buying a 2021 Tesla Model 3 standard range...has a HEAT...

If you have access to an air hose to blow off the topical dust, a strong leaf blower works. Dampen a cloth and wipe what you can, rinsing then wringing out excess water. For oily bits I'd wet a cloth with Simple Green, wipe, rinse repeat then dry off with a dry cloth. No rinsing off with a...

I have a 2015 and also in Mesa. How many miles are on yours? I think I'd take $10K...that's what I paid 30 months ago.

I've had mine 25 months and still charges to 84 or higher, depending on temperature, and am at 24K miles. Replaced the 12 volt battery and wiper blades but that's been it. Amazingly quick and handles pretty well for the suspension it's on. Still fun, a keeper.

Enjoy my 2015 Spark but would lean more toward the Bolt. Not sure how the heater is though...must be better than in the no heat Spark. Bigger battery, less charging time, seating position...all pluses for me.

Have a 2015 Spark, just turned 24k miles and still charges, in cooler temps, to 90-94! My wife drives a 2017 Volt Premiere with 51k on the clock. Charges to 55 and over 60 SOC...a few times over 70! Gets 44 or more on the freeway, is quiet and handles great. Waiting for a Tesla Y with the new...

How old is the battery...maybe that's what's causing it.

Check with XM first. They inadvertently turn off the signal.

My 2015, 20000 miles, paint is great. I'm not on the freeway, dont think 1st owner was either. Have zero issues with paint.

Will be hard to keep your foot out of it...quick with torque steer!Bwahahaha

I've had my 2015 since 11-18 and am up to 22K miles and it still charges past 84. In the winter, in AZ, in a garage it fell to the mid 70's. You should be getting better than 60. The Chevy dealers here will check voltage and all things electric for free, takes about 1.5 hours, may want to check...

Cool tip. If I have a need for speed charging and one of these are near me in Mesa AZ, I will remember this. Thanks!

I've had my 2015 for 16 months. Have gone from 14000 miles to 21000. I don't track battery degradation. I charge at home a few times a week and depending on temperature, I live in Arizona, the car continues to charge to the high 80's, low 90's. When it was cold I got high 70's. Charged...

Yeah, have had that issue when I had the BMW i-3. The support structure for Tesla is why I'm leaning that way in the future, but, waiting to see all the other manufacturers offer and if/when the charging stations get better, are more plentiful and batteries gain more miles and fast charge.

Love my 2015, just turned 20K miles. It has little to no heat in colder temps. Being in AZ is great in the summer as the A/C blows cold. The heater...not so much. The heated seat doesn't warm your feet or hands or anything but lower back and glutes. Yes, VERY quick. Where do you live? It gets...
