    remote start / pre-heating still uses up battery?

    I have the same problem with my 2014. I have an 240v L2 16amp charger. The remote start definitely uses the battery even while plugged in. Maybe there is a way to remote start it, and have it restore the charge in time before you leave. It would at least give you a warmer car than if it...

    Hello, I've had my spark for 4 months and I'm enjoying it, but i have noticed something annoying. While powered off, and plugged in, It periodically connects to my phone via Bluetooth and I miss calls. After a little observation, I noticed it does this whenever the cooling fans are on. Also...

    Ev sticker?

    I wish it was more obvious that my spark is electric. Has anyone done anything to their spark that makes it clear that it is electric? I was thinking of a badge or decal. Or maybe painting the ev letters below the rear bumper white.

    Battery does condition w/o plug

    I was thinking the same thing. I have a 2014 and it clearly does not engage TMS while off, even in extreme heat. Maybe they added this feature in 2015 and later?

    Noises at shut down

    Hello, new spark ev owner here. I have a question. When I turn the car off, I hear a thump and a gurgling (liquid and bubbles) noise. I think the thump is the battery being disconnected and I think the gurgling is the ac. In Vegas, it's 100F already, so the ac is in full use during a...

    Question about potential spark

    It's definitely a spark ev. I'm assuming the dealership either made a mistake or punched it in automatically from habit.

    Question about potential spark

    Hello, I am considering buying a used Chevy Spark from a Chevy dealership. From what I can tell, the person lived in CA for a few years, then moved to Las Vegas and turned in their lease here. On the carfax, I noticed a few visits to various Chevy dealerships that were close together (Aug to...
