Fun article... http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/spark-ev-world-record/

The miles disappeared during driving. This wasn't range after charging. I always expect variation in range readout after a charging. This was after the car been sitting for 3 full days. That, and the cold-ish weather had to be the culprit. It was just such a precipitous drop during mid-drive...

Backstory -> My girlfriend went out of town last Wednesday. The Spark had about 80 miles at the mid. The car was not driven Thursday-Saturday. I drove it about 15 miles Sunday. Charged it to full Sunday with 94 miles at the mid. It was not driven Monday. The Strange Thing -> The GF drove the 1...

Yes, we had the same issue. The light was on the day my girlfriend picked up the car, but didn't realize until driving it home. We took it back the next day. Chevy had the car for 3 days as well. They said there was a software update needed. No elaboration. Seemed a little strange. This was a...

The majority of my driving tends to be via surface streets. Not a lot of good CC usage in LA for that kind of driving unfortunately. But, we're heading to Palm Springs in a few week, and thinking about taking the Spark (stoping about 70mi into the 120mi trip to charge some) so that would be a...

(this could be for a different thread... but just jumping off from the last topic) For what it's worth I can tell you my driving habits. I have a 2013 Leaf SL. My girlfriend has the Spark EV. With the Spark EV you simple set it and forget it. With the my Leaf there are just too many drive...

Of course. Good luck. Our car was back with Chevy the day after we picked it up. The Service Vehicle Soon light went on. It took them 2 days to figure it out. A program update apparently. No issues since. Yeah, this is all I found in regards to a 10-minute auto turn off. Things you'll have to...

This is my experience... after driving the car with the radio on, and powering off the car, the radio has always turned off only after the drivers door is opened. This is how it's always functioned. This seems very normal to me, as many cars employ this functionality. But if this were new for...

The 10 minute shut-off is only applicable if the radio were turned on while the car was off. The below was taken from the Spark EV manual. Automatic Switch-Off If the infotainment system has been turned on after the ignition is turned off, the system will turn off automatically after 10...

The car apparently uses an electro-hydraulic system for the front brakes. The below was taken from a Chevy media kit -> http://media.gm.com/content/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/spark-ev/2014.html I've driven my girlfriends Spark EV a few days, after she noticed similar braking concerns to...
