Wife wrecked it a year ago. I have collected a few parts but there is no way I am going to be able to finish this project. Front left side is crunched. Fire department started in with the jaws and ruined the driver door and dinged the passenger door before they realized the door would just open...

So Idaho is so far behind the times that the only charging spot at the mall is free. The power company has two free public plugs by the park downtown. The airport has four free plugs in the LONG TERM PARKING LOT WITH NO QUALIFICATIONS!!!! I had to go to the airport admin office for a few hours...

The last couple weeks the motor in my 2014 has been chattering when throttle is just off idle. It feels like the computer is rapidly jumping back and forth from drive to regen when output is near zero. Doesn’t occur all the time and selecting neutral kicks it out and rolling returns to smooth. I...

Took a drive with my little girl (who got engaged over the holiday) for a father daughter jaunt up to the ski resort above our city. If I’m very conservative I can make it all the way to the top and back home on one charge. Three turns from the summit I was in the middle of a sharp 180 degree...

Michelin ice x tires on this thing and I rule the road. I have never driven anything this sure-footed.

Any worry about fully charging but unplugging in cold weather? I had to move the car for parking lot maintenance right after topping off. Battery conditioning ran on the way home but I didn’t see any issues.

My children have participated twice in a solar go kart race held in May each year. I’ll keep you informed about this yesr’s effort. They took first place last year. www.gsrinc.org

Curious if I could fit a smaller wheel, perhaps a 13", to the front to increase the effective ratio at the wheel? I have not measured the clearance of the brake caliper to the inside diameter of the rim. I know off-set clearance is an issue. I am also searching to obtain a 2015-16 gear-set to...

My Spark was damaged when it was shipped to me. The rear bumper was impacted by a Willies Jeep that was on the same transport and worked loose. The trucking company tried to hide it but failed to actually fix it so here a month later I’m fixing it on my dime and I’ll likely have to sue them for...

The nearest one I can locate is 315 miles away in Utah! Beat that!

I liberated my Spark EV from Arcata California to Nampa Idaho. There it is a rare breed indeed. I know of only 3 in this state. Two 2014, one silver L2 with DCFC and mine white no DCFC, one 2015. I have traveled to California twice since I got it and am on the lookout for others. I don’t need...

Clipper Creek unit for $248 with shipping. Will be happy not to have to go back into the garage and reset the charge rate every single time!

Here in Idaho I exist in a sea of diesel pickups, performance cars and commuter wrecks. My boss has been teasing me for some time about my crappy electric car. Today at lunch I drove the Spark and in the middle of his monologue I could consistently get him to stop and laugh every time I stabbed...

Not a traction battery question I know...I received two keys with my used Spark EV. One was flagged by the car as having a low battery. I replaced them both with standard batteries and then both indicated low battery. Thinking I could have gotten a bad batch I returned to the store and purchased...

Last winter we had 7-8 of snow on the ground at one point. One of my cars couldn’t leave the driveway. This is my get to work car. My backup is a Cessna 172. 2014 Spark EV Edit: tires are ordered!

Just bought a 2014 Spark EV. After reading every forum, blog, and YouTube comment I decided the 2014 was the commuter car for me. My employer will let me plug in free of charge. My commute is about 25 miles and the right lane of the freeway runs 62-65 MPH all the way to work most mornings. Now I...
