    First Spark EV owner to get a speeding ticket?

    I read the question on this thread a while back, and Saturday after getting a ticket thought I ought to check if I was first. Looks like I'm second among the members of this board. I was giving a co-worker a ride home from a half marathon we did that ended in Banks, Oregon. I'm driving on a...

    So the salesman tells me...

    Sparkler: I did talk to the sales guy and a manager in the service dept about adapters. Both were non-committal. The service guy tried telling me that I didn't want to ever use a quick charger anyway, because they get so hot it compromises battery life. The beleaguered salesman said "He...

    So the salesman tells me...

    gra, Thank you for the response. Unfortunately I didn't get it before going back to the dealership. I leased the Spark EV believing it could use the quick charger near my house (salesman reconfirmed this during the "deal" phase of the dealership trip). I'm a bit torn. I really like the...

    So the salesman tells me...

    So the Chevy salesman tells me that the Spark is compatible with the quick charging stations here in Oregon (there is a Blink brand station a few miles from my house that has both quick charging and Level 2). In reading this forum, it appears there is some type of "what standard to use" war...
