Here in California, they only recognize the red colored stickers. Stupid new laws.

Just recently I noticed that my car does not charge like it used to. Before the car would have a max charge of about 90 miles. And now, when I charge, the maximum that it will show is 68 miles. Is there something that I can do to reset the gauge? Could there be something wrong with the battery...

I currently own a 2014 Chevy Spark EV. I went to the dealer to check out the 2019 Chevy Spark. I sat inside one of the cars. It was nice, but it seems like the interior is smaller. Or is it just my imagination? I think I like my Spark more than the new refreshed design.

I believe you will enjoy the car very much. The car is quick and fun to drive. I live in Southern California, so I don't know how it drives in cold weather. The fact that you have charging stations at work, will help a lot. As long as you go in with realistic expectations, you will not be...

I own a 2014 Chevy Spark. Even though it has less than 10,000 miles on it, my estimated range when fully charged is about 95 miles.

Have any of you had any issues with the vehicle remote? The other day I forgot my keys in the car, and they remained there overnight. The next day, when I tried to start the car, I was getting an error message. Something to the effect that the remote battery needs to be replaced. I know it's...

All of these are interesting points. Something else that needs to be taken into consideration is the manufacturing of the vehicle. Which auto manufacturer used more environmentally friendly methods to produce their vehicle. Does Chevy use a lot more oil in their manufacturing plants compared to...

I didn't say that it was $5000 less. I said $5000 is a lot of money to most people. It was in response to the person above who said that I should just spend $5000 more over a 2018 Nissan Leaf and buy a Bolt. If the reason why you buy an electric vehicle is purely for environmental reasons, then...

That is an interesting find. Although I have read somewhere that new tires are less efficient than old tires. It takes several months to break them in.

$5000 is a lot of money to most people. That's pretty much the money one would save by driving an electric vehicle. I can buy a Chevy Sonic for less than $20,000. Or I can buy a Bolt for $35,000. If I buy the bolt, I can't tell people that I am saving money on gas by driving an electric...

I think the number one factor for me would be the price. I love my Spark EV, and had thought of buying a Bolt in the near future. But that $35,000 starting point is just too much money for me. If Nissan can price the Leaf somewhere between 25 and 30 grand, then I might consider it. Assuming of...

So I hear the "new" Nissan Leaf will be revealed in a couple of weeks. Do you guys think it stands a chance against the Tesla Model 3 and the Chevy Bolt? I have heard that the current Leaf is not as reliable as a Spark. What will Nissan have to do in order to get people to buy the new Leaf...

So if I plug in the factory charger that came with the Spark into a 240v outlet, it won't damage it? Will it charge faster?

I think the reason why it is costing me so much is because the car has not been paid off yet. The finance company want me to have the full coverage.
