    Tire "skidding" question

    The Spark EV uses LRR tires, or Low Roll Resistance, to maximize economy and extend range. The trade off for these tires is traction. They will squeal more often on both braking and accelerating than other tires designed to emphasize traction and grip. Nothing to worry about... Enjoy the extra...

    Apple car play upgrade?

    I just a news video on USA Today that demonstrates Apples new Car Play, using a Chevy Spark EV as the demo car... Very cool! Does anyone know if our 2014 Chevy Spark EV will be software upgraded to the Apple interface? :)

    Loud "CLUNK" noise under rapid acceleration ... ?

    This has happened to me about 4-5 times, in the three months I have been driving the Spark EV... When I accelerate hard (put the pedal to the floor), within the first 3-4 feet of movement I hear a very loud "CLUNK" that seems to come from the front wheels of the vehicle... It's exactly as if I...

My electric bill increased ~$50 over the prior month when I did not...

    Performance Boost!?

    OK... I'm surprised that nobody has brought this up yet... But seems that this little tiger of a ride has a lot of potential for a software upgrade to tease out some more of that torque a little faster. I mean, 402 lb ft. of torque seems to be nicely spaced over the range of speed from the...

    First Spark EV owner to get a speeding ticket?

    I sold my Porsche when I bought the Spark... What I've realized is that this car is never going to win a race against a Porsche like mine - but you can generally drive it quicker around town and with a lot LESS attention (no gas engine revving, and not Speed Yellow like my old ride!). I'm just...

    Any Spark EV owners yet?

    Just took delivery of my Electric Blue 2LT yesterday... absolutely LOVE the car. I sold my Porsche Boxster-S, and now own this vehicle for what I paid for gas each month! :D I am freaking-out a bit about the long re-charge time. I drove it down to ~8 miles of range, and now I'm using my...
