not bad at all, 16.375 kWh is 86.2% of 19 kWh new battery capacity after 4 years of use. still it doesn't explain the sudden drop in the GOM from about 100 miles in March of '19, when i bought the car, to about 80 miles right now... then again, perhaps the GOM has simply become more accurate...

last calculated HV battery capacity before i recharge is 16.375 kWh

so this is what i'm getting after my no A/C run to the store just now. with 51% usage the HV battery capacity is up to 16.27 kWh.

you may have a point there as i always see that the A/C is on after i come to unplug the charger after a night of charging. i've mentioned this before in one of my posts here. this would certainly explain why i don't see any BC energy used, and yes i was driving with cabin A/C on all the time...

perhaps even if the temp outside is in the 90's it doesn't mean the overall HV battery temp is such and conditioning is not warranted. i'm just trying to figure out if i have an issue with my battery conditioning system. just so you know, this reading was taken after a short trip to the grocery...

one thing i just realized, with 92F outside, shouldn't i see some energy go towards battery conditioning? thank you

looks like i'm getting a calculated HV battery capacity of 15.68 kWh so far, 5.8 kWh/37%. i will post another calculation as i drive more than 50% on this charge...

this may be a dumb question but where is the energy usage screen that will tell me i've consumed 50%, is it the screen with the horizontal battery with the green bands? thank you

thank you, that makes sense since to get a somewhat accurate calculation you don't want to reduce the kwh used by using regen or get a "push" from tail wind or a "push-back" from a head wind, etc, just discharge the battery with little to no external forces applied. i'm also assuming that...

"Re: Battery Warranty is bogus Quote cappuccinokid by cappuccinokid » Thu Oct 03, 2019 11:06 am After posting @ChevyElectric on Twitter, my case was escalated and I got a voicemail from Chevy yesterday informing me that the dealership agreed to pay for the repair. I seem to get the code when...

a little background, i purchased my used June 2016 built Spark EV mid-March of 2019, so it was less than 3 years old then, as a lease return from the same dealer with 46K miles. my reasoning was to buy as fresh a HV battery as i could , regardless of miles on the clock. currently it has 54K...

my June 2016 battery nearly died over a year ago and i was thinking of replacing it but i have a portable Sears battery charger so i charged it overnight. no problems since then, over a year now.

i also have a squeak on my 2016 just from riding over rough bumpy road, coming i think from the rear left wheel area. don't know what it is, guessing it's suspension/shock related. i can also recreate the squeak by rocking the car with my hands when it's parked of course. have had it since i...

while driving in hot SoCal weather these days, even on the West side of LA which is cooler, my A/C is on even thought i do not turn it on. i feel cold air seeping out of the vents even though the A/C and fan are off. the car does show 1% used for battery conditioning but 0% for climate control...

have you noticed the front end (hood/grill/top of fenders) being warm to touch during this cycle? i'm trying to figure out why this happens to my Spark on occasion, https://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9030

i'm thinking of servicing the main battery coolant myself when the time comes and was looking for the high voltage Manual Service Disconnect when i stumbled on these brochures. also found this helpful video about main battery removal in a 2017 Bolt, which of course includes disconnecting all...

thought these would be useful in disconnecting the main battery, if need be, https://www.gmstc.com/FirstResponder.aspx

i have a '16 Spark EV 2LT with 48K miles, production date June 2016, getting about 100 miles to the charge in the city and 80 or so on the freeway. lately i noticed that, not all the time but, sometimes the front of the car, grill/hood/fenders, gets noticeably warm to the touch after an...

"Or, you could do what I did, and get a physical key cut for emergencies and keep it in your wallet (the only reason I could think of to need an extra key was if I somehow locked my key in the car and needed to unlock a door). I've never needed the extra key." may i ask where you found a blank...

"Well, the OLD law said that all white stickers were to expire on Jan 1, 2019 (the one from 5 years ago or so). The NEW law only added the right for NEW cars the right to drive in the HOV lane." so does this mean that if you just purchased your EV with white stickers they are good as long as...
