Spark has been turned back in to the dealer lease return. The charger is now packaged and ready to sell. Price is $260 and if needed to be shipped, buyer pays for shipping.

$260. Sorry, not available till July 2018. Located in Orange County CA.

No need for this anymore as my Spark EV will be turned in next month.. Its the 16A with 12 foot cord. I will also advertise it on ebay. If anyone is interested let me know.

So I have 3 more months and I am well within my mileage allowance of 30,000 miles. The original Bridgestone Ecopia front tires are completely bald at this point (26k miles). Strangely the rear tires looks brand new. Everything in my car is in good shape with no dents. It has been repaired not...

Took the car to dealer on Monday morning and the finally called me today (Wednesday) and said car is ready to be picked up. They said the issue was a bad ECM/PCM (Engine Control Module or Powertrain Control Module). This is what the ECM does: "The engine control management computer, also...

Found a video of Chevy's active grille shutter in action on a Cruze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q_xc7vUlA0

Sorry for being vague about my post. I'll try to explain better: For months before the spark "died", I have had that yellow warning light on the dash. Been ignoring it and postponing a trip to the dealer until about a month ago I had to take it in because of the "airbag issue". Aside from the...

Here is the actual message on the dash. Also the yellow warning light with the exclamation mark has been there for a while now. The dealer finally checked it and it has to do with "automatic air vents" in front of the car, I guess its broken. The dealer will also replace that part.

Thanks for the info. The car is at the dealer and I am really curious to know what their findings are.

Been randomly getting "Propulsion Power Reduced" when starting car. Once this message appears car will not move at all. I turn the car on/off several times and it finally goes. Well today, this message appeared again but after over 10 times starting/restarting, no luck. Car is stuck in my...

There is a video on youtube about some guys testing the spark ev range by driving around LA until they ran out of battery charge. I forgot exactly how many miles they were actually able to drive.

Here is a closeup shot of the grill painted with flat black plasti-dip paint (removeable, peelable)..

I commute from South OC to Long Beach (42 miles each way). Fully charged the car says 85 miles. I drove to work at Long Beach with good driving habits and setting the cruise control at 62 mph most of the time and no A/C, just radio. I also turned off the headlamps. When I got to Long Beach car...

I sprayed it in place and didn't even mask anything. It's plasti-dip so any overspray after I painted wiped right off.

Ever heard of plasti-dip paint? It peels right off. My next project is to plasti-dip the whole car yellow similar to the picture below. Again it will peel off and will actually preserve the paint since its a lease.
