    my first cold snowy colorado driving experience

    well, its been a while- perhaps an update. half way through my second winter in my 2014 chevy spark ev. Still love my spark, especially the torque up 7% highway mountain grades! Could use a better windshield defroster, as the windshield won't completely clear in wet snowy commutes (better...

    Cold Weather Range

    -10F this morning in Colorado foothills- GOM at 60 miles full car outside in the snow. My full service onstar subscription that came with the car expired a few days ago, so don't have all the other info. The precondition still works in the app, so i still do that. But on a L1 trickle- still...

    my first cold snowy colorado driving experience

    well, only got down to -9F this morning...no real difference than 20F in range or comfort (for me or my battery heater). Its always a good thing when you can be impressed by good engineering.

    New Colorado state owner

    good to hear another colorado import plan got in under the old tax rules! Have another month until these tax rules change everyone. next year starts the (up to) $5k off at the dealership for a Bolt, so not all that bad - just no more used imports...

    my first cold snowy colorado driving experience

    60 miles range in snow sounds right. have to run that front defrost pretty high to keep snow from building up. i was expecting this - so my 25 mile commute to work to plug in is within my acceptable range anxiety. A minus -20F morning - not sure about that...I was most impressed with the...

    my first cold snowy colorado driving experience

    well, this morning was my first experience with my new (to me) 2014 spark ev in winter driving conditions. 11F this morning, 6" snow last night at 9000 ft here in the colorado foothills. I was plugged into 120v with a full charge over night in the driveway, and took the kids to school this...

    Used Spark EV import to Colorado plan

    After a few weeks daily driving this go-cart to and from work 50 miles a day, i am impressed. After spending years researching and understanding EVs, i have to say we all made a good choice. such a joy to drive twice a day - the EV grin is real and repeatable. If the Bolt really has sub-7...

    Used Spark EV import to Colorado plan

    Thanks all. Base onstar/mylink functionality setup and tested. Nice. After colorado tax credits- about $13.5 kilobucks with 18k miles. 2lt and no fast charger. Wont use sport mode- just push go more. Are only the tires different sizes, or the wheels too? Should fit a low-profile chains...

    Used Spark EV import to Colorado plan

    after a few years in the making, i am the owner of a gently used 2014 spark ev. Love this car so far - it climbs my 25 mile, 3000 ft daily commute home like a champ, and i get most of it back on the way down the hill. GreenEyed Motors in boulder has lots of different used imported EVs/Plug...

    Used Spark EV import to Colorado plan

    Still here waiting for the right used spark ev to bring in to colorado. Im glad to help gm pave the way for the bolt - err ev2. Current 2014 lightly used california spark evs running at 16500 to 17000, with a 3500 colorado tax rebate makes this a steal! Local volt mechanic says sparks are...

    Used Spark EV import to Colorado plan

    Thanks Steves for the thoughts. Local Volt electrical tech said they would probably be able to work on it...at least it was not a "no".
