I've supercharged my eSpark over 300 times now and I still get 75 miles of hard highway cruising. The batteries are pretty bullet proof- if it can survive my lifestyle, considering I've put 40k miles on it in 22 months then it's going to work fine for someone who is softer to it for decades...

The Spark can truly take a beating. I've run it through rivers. Hooned it in the mud, driven it on slickrock, high centered the vehicle on multiple occasions, fit three people and a 14 diameter dobsonian telescope in the back seat. Yea. . . I am surprised i haven't had to take it in yet...

I don't have a floor plan anymore- my SD card with all the photo and video of me doing the conversion died. What I did was get a plastic pallet and cut out parts of the floor that conflicted with the raised HV disconnect. I had about 8cm of space I could store stuff in under my bed and it raised...

I thought I'd share this picture here. My friend took this on an astronomy trip last June. I had converted the rear space of the car to accommodate a custom raised floor I could sleep out the back of it without the lip of the trunk getting in the way. I could store a weeks worth of food, two...

Perhaps, though I remember many times in 2019 holding the charge handle up during startup and it still failed. Who knows, and honestly with so many people swapping over to normal cars (by that I mean electric vehicles with 150+ mile ranges) eSpark compatibility with these stations doesn't matter...

I actually jumped on plugshare and started surfing some of their upcoming chargers - seems like they are rolling out this new design- frankly I don't mind. Doesn't give me flashbacks to the early days of supercharging when I would stare at stark white ABB units in crowded dealer parking lots...

The ones you posted of the ones at EA headquarters look just like the ones I found in Salina UT! I feel stupid for forgetting to look at the sticker so I cannot confirm who makes them. My hope is that they are an in house design. I remember constantly having reliability problems with the CPE200...

Actually only one was a BTC unit. I checked every single one of them. Actually there are only two Signet / non ABB EA units in the state of Utah. Cedar City and Spanish Fork UT. Though I just saw these units today in Salina UT and frankly A) they are a close second to the CPE250 in terms of...

Completed a six hundred and sixty one mile drive from Santaquin UT to St. George (with lots of side explorations) in an eSpark. I've done that drive once before (excluding the two attempts when the EA chargers where new and I found out they didn't work with my car at the time.) when there was...

EA is putting a station in at Green River UT which finally makes Spanish Fork UT to Moab UT possible in low range EV's without needing to stop for a l2 charge. I actually have my fingers crossed that my eSpark doesn't sell by the time these units are in so I can try that drive out. The units...

I remember when the first Electrify America Station went up in my state. It was an ABB. I drove up and tested it in my car and it worked first try on a random unit. The pin count was 3-by-5 like all other new EA stations. It didn't work few months later and now works again. It has to be a...

I wanted to note that I got a successful session with an ABB Electrify America Station to work. The station was in Brigham City, UT and I had tried it a few times before and it gave me the same errors as the one in Salt Lake City UT, Scipio UT and Beaver UT. I will try the Salt Lake ABB EA...

Its pretty outdated, but here is a small sample of EA charging sessions I have had. I haven't been driving nearly as much as I used to now that I live in the city and don't need a car anymore. I used the Spanish Fork Super one other time that isn't listed on this spreadsheet, it was successful...

I just saw this thread and thought I might be able to add some information to it. On April 2nd 2019 I had a successful charge on an ABB unit in Salt Lake City with a 2015 Spark EV. According to my reliability spreadsheet it took one try on a random unit within the station. On June 12th, a few...
