    Looking.. and looking.. for my first EV

    FWIW, we had 2 2014 Spark EVs *have 2 Bolts now in case you are wondering. Neither of our Spark EV cars had DCFC. I was able to sell them both- it did take slightly longer because so many people think they must have DCFC because its what everyone told them to get. Its like those people who...

    2051 Spark EV body paint are kind of thin.

    Having come out of a crappy ultra thin paint from a 2012 VW, the 2014 Spark EV I had for 2 years had less chips so it's all relative. What you need to keep in mind is the Spark (in general) is the cheapest economy car sold by Chevy so it wouldn't surprise me that paint is also cheaper quality...

    12 volt battery life ?

    Okay? You are talking about a car 2 years newer and you replaced a battery on your own as a precaution and? I only stated a fact that in my case, the battery was OEM, 5 years old and unable to hold a proper charge. The owner before me rarely used the car and let it sit for months at a time...

    12 volt battery life ?

    2014 Spark EV OEM 12V battery replaced with OEM original AGM when the car was 5 years old due to too many incidents of idiot lights and battery unable to keep charge above 12.4 consistently. New battery meant no more problems and no more fast draining down to 11.2 to 11.9

    Problems with radio, onstar and compass

    YES... there is an issue. I have to take my Bolt in for the same problem actually. the Red light is not good. In my case its still covered under the bumper to bumper warranty but I'm not sure it will be on an older Spark EV. For reference my compass stopped working and my on-star button is...

    Welp, bought my Spark at lease-end....

    At least its the 'devil you know' and compared to what they are going for on Carvana, you did alright. I heard about others having to pay $15,000 at lease end for their 2014 so they just turned them in instead. I'd say you did pretty darn good.. .congrats!

    Lots of used Spark EVs near San Jose, CA

    as 2017 Bolt leases come due in the coming months, more people will buy used Bolts instead of used Sparks methinks.... just how it goes. The Spark EV will always leaving me smiling with very fond memories as my first EV car before buying my Bolt!

    New Chevy Spark EV owner

    We changed to different tires on our former 2nd Spark (much better grip) but lost 11 miles per charge in the process as fair warning.

    New Chevy Spark EV owner

    Get some snow tires if you plan to drive it in winter! The stock tires are absolutely horrid in snow/winter conditions (yes I speak from experience) That being said, I just replaced the fronts with the same exact Bridgestone Ecopia tires so range wouldn't suffer ...be ready to get as bad as...

    Replacement Battery Cost

    I still just don't see a higher capacity battery pack ever happening for the Spark EV given the crazy low 7500 total count that was made. I would be really surprised if a) one becomes available and b) its actually affordable. I'm already seeing some Spark EV cars selling for $6000 so who...

    Replacement Battery Cost

    @NORTON Does your 2014 have DCFC? If yes, do you use it often? I have a theory about the 2014 Spark EV battery aging better and another about not using DCFC as often. Curious to know if I'm wrong.

    Center Screen not working

    Electrify America Charging Station Problems

    ^ my understanding is certain EA stations have not worked properly when 1st being setup regardless of what car tries to actually charge at the station BUT the Bolt EV does NOT have the same issue as the Spark EV when it comes to EA DCFC.
