I live 1300 ft above sea level. I work at about 80 ft. above sea level. Since the range estimate is based on driving condition from immediate past, it is completely useless to me. Thirty miles-to-empty mean two completely different things if I just drove downhill or uphill. In addition all...

This is also happening to me and I find it extremely annoying. I took my EV in to get it checked for this and they were unable to reproduce with my car or with a new car from lot. Hence they concluded this was "normal." WTF? They cannot reproduce therefore it's normal! My theory is this, if...

Today, on my way to drop off my kids' at school, I dropped a bomb, and like the good father that I am, I attempted to lock all the windows. As it turns out, the passenger side window did not lock. Only the rear windows. Is this expected behavior? Anybody observe differently? ezjam

The misters are for cooling the panels as efficiency goes down with increased temperature. I'm still investigating as I have read that rain water is best for this as it does not leave a calcium film on panels (which over time would decrease efficiency.)

Yes, I installed them myself. I got a crazy expensive quote from one of those door-to-door salesman. I ended up paying about half for double the wattage. Overall (permits and engineering plans included) I paid about $17.5K for a 6.8KW system with Enphase micro inverters. I know a single...

I'll be going to a "new spark ev" orientation tonight at dealership. I'll see if I can get some info on Camera and/or Korean VIN. (I'm still in touch with sales rep.)

VonSpark, I noticed your signature. I too have 27 panels. Took me over 2 months of weekends to install. But I'm loving watching the meter spin back! Next, I'm looking at installing misters to keep panels cool as I have noticed on hot days, they produce less. ezjam

Bump (I feel your pain.) I hate the seat. I'm tempted to saw off the head rest.

Has anybody continued on this search? Anybody try the different radio firmware images?

My plan is to only charge at the office. However, on my first trip to work, I forgot to bring in the charging cord. So I drove home and back the next day for a total of 90 miles w/o plugging in. When I plugged in the next day, I still had 22 miles to empty. Onstar RemoteLink is reporting 168...
