@nashco - well said! I've been reduced to occasionally lurking on this forum to glean any useful SparkEV information. I am continually amused by the amount of furious typing that goes on by non-SparkEV owners to make a point or position. I hope that they're happy that they're 'winning' whatever...

so let me see - 2 of the 3 members with the most posts (as of 7/28 at 4:00 PDT) ARE NOT CHEVY SPARK EV OWNERS, yet they blah blah blah blah here, and report us to the mod, and capture our IP addresses, and contact the local, state and federal law enforcement authorities, and threaten to call the...

@Oberon Wow! With this kind of invite, I think that I will have to show up after all, stealth-like (I'll have to park the Spark over in the Target Greatland parking lot and walk over). Maybe I will sit near this group to eaves drop on their proceedings - I might glean some valuable intel that...

Did you ever stop to think that your arrogance and attitude coupled with your ego is your blind spot that prevents you from seeing the very same attitude directed right back at you? You are, in my opinion, one of the biggest offenders of straying from "peaceful civil discourse" on this board...

I might try to show up since I live only 3 miles south of Cerritos. Oh wait . . . frankenplug. Shucks, I am "that guy!"

@FutureFolly I agree with you that solar and BEV's go very well together. We installed an 8 kW system a couple of years ago and are loving it. The system was sized to produce 110% our average monthly usage, so we had a little bit extra capacity. Our electricity usage has decreased due to one...

I put $999 down and pay $235 per month on a lease of the 1LT for 36 months and 36,000 miles. From my perspective, you seem to have a pretty good offer since they're going to take care of your Fiat lease. The $2500 rebate will almost cover your first 10 months of lease payments, so you're...

I find the combative-style of discourse to be unproductive as a means to exchange information, ideas and opinions. Let me be one to apologize to the CHADEMO zealots that I selected the compliance-only, 3.3 kW limited on board charging, GM-designed, Korean-manufactured, and Chevy-badged Spark EV...

We used a local contractor that only does solar and we were very pleased with the outcome. I suggest that you get at least three quotes - and include as many smaller independent contractors as you can find. The big nationwide companies (SolarCity and Verengo) tried to steer us to a lease with...

@cwerda Thanks for the blah-blah-blah words that I didn't bother to read. Since you're so down on the SAE standard, wouldn't you find more joy, happiness and contentment in the Nissan Leaf forum? I would welcome it if you would just leave and take your banter anywhere else - your volumes of...

oh yeah - I fully expect that my post will be flamed. That's okay. The little people can spew their words about how they're right and how GM is 'just playing the game" with compliance.

I'm growing weary of those posters who constantly use the "frankenplug" name for the non-Nissan fast charging interface. Grow up already! Who cares? Competition is good - Coke vs. Pepsi (Coke is way better, BTW); Betamax vs VHS (Beta was the higher-quality format, but it really doesn't matter...

I added gumby

We leased ours from Selman Chevy in Orange and we were very happy with the deal. We got the advertised $999 down and $199 per month (plus the usual adders). We would have leased from Simpson Chevy in a Garden Grove if they had the car we wanted in stock (1LT in white). And another data point: a...

I leased the 1LT beause the difference between the two wasn't significant enough to make me want the 2LT. The leatherette seats and steering wheel cover wasn't that big an attraction for me. You might find yourself very happy with a 1LT model. Either way, you're going to get a car that...
