    Sold my Spark EV

    I sold my Spark EV last month. Sad times, indeed! I've moved on to a Model 3, and it is terrific! I do miss my Spark EV, though. What a great little city car! In my opinion, the best city car bar none! Great power, nimble and easy to park, and as long as it has CCS and a decent DCFC...

    Battery Degradation vs Battery Limited Warranty

    Woo-Hoo! This should be fun to play with! Don't forget, battery capacity is expressed as kWh. kW is a measure of power: "kW stands for kilowatt. A kilowatt is simply 1,000 watts, which is a measure of power. So, for example, the 10,000 watt electric shower in the top bullet point above could...

    Remove the interior cover panel from the rear hatch

    There's a tiny plastic cover that hides a screw. Take out that screw (not sure if that's the only screw), then the panel is held in place by plastic snaps and you just pop them out one by one using a plastic spudger.

    New owner of one of the oldest SPARK EVs around

    Oh, good heavens!: We know who they are, and we don't like them, so they don't get Christmas cards from us, anymore. :lol: Rep. Allen Peake is a co-sponsor of HB 862 http://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/en-US/Display/20172018/HB/862, asking to "waive any fees associated with a special license...

    New owner of one of the oldest SPARK EVs around

    Outside Atlanta? Join our EV Club of the South! I use BringGo in my 2014 Spark EV all the time. Here's how I have it setup: an old LG Nexus 5 smartphone resides in the glovebox, connected via USB cable that I snaked behind the glovebox behind the center stack and into the area where the USB...

    Front tire life... how long did yours last?

    I replaced the original front EP150s at around 10k mi. The rears look untouched. I went with EP422+. They seem quieter. Not too expensive. The cold weather restricts range; been seeing low 60mi GOM. Expect that warmer temps will improve that. -Bob K.

    Fake noise maker

    Oct 20, 2017, the 12V battery died in my 2014 Spark EV, taking the negative battery cable with it. It was towed to my trusted Chevy dealer and I was told the parts had to be found first then ordered. Would take a few days. They gave me a Suburban rental to drive. I was told it's covered...

    Recall notice concerning range estimation

    Had the recall done this morning. When they gave me back the car, it was plugged-in to L2 and charging. GOM showed 34 mi. mi/kWh shows 4.5. Normal. Unplugged, and thought I'd plug-in to the dealership's new 24kW DCFC. Car wouldn't charge; all the normal clicks and buzzes were noted, the...

    bike carrier

    I've posted this request before: can somebody in the state of Washington near the shop of Torklift Central in Kent, Wa. go there and allow them to make a hitch for Spark EVs? They already make one for the gas Spark. It should be cake for them to modify their current design to accommodate the...
