I sold my Spark EV last month. Sad times, indeed! I've moved on to a Model 3, and it is terrific! I do miss my Spark EV, though. What a great little city car! In my opinion, the best city car bar none! Great power, nimble and easy to park, and as long as it has CCS and a decent DCFC...

hi folks, I have a favour to ask. EVSE Adapters needs a volunteer to allow them to test their Type 1 CCS cable with their 20kW portable charging station. They're located at: Call us (or text us!) at 385-355-EVSE EVSEadapters.com 321 Plum Drive Exeter, CA 93221 If anybody is in that...

I wanted to find a place to put my iPhone 5s whilst driving. Somewhere so that I could see it and get my hands on it if necessary but out of the way of passengers. Initially, I used an AirDock 2.0 mounted on a Cobra Flex Mount (see my blog post...

Well, this is interesting. These guys are vending a portable CHAdeMO/CCS Fast Charger: https://www.evseadapters.com/en/home/136-portable-chademo-or-ccs-fast-charger.html The price is outrageous @ nearly $4k. I talked with them about it; it's Chinese-made (Setec) and is meant for the 3.3 kW...

Um, no... This pic was taken just after leaving home, going to work. Sitting at a stop light, I glanced down and saw this and had to laugh. At the next light, it settled down to 5.1 mi/kWh; then, I watched it change to 5.4, then 5.3...and I hadn't moved. Windows/sunroof open, music...

Did this upgrade today: http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?146977-Video-that-shows-how-to-modify-Voltec-L1-EVSE-to-do-L1-and-L2 Turned out really well. Car charges at 12.xA @ 240V or 12/8A @ 120V. I made one small change to the protocol: I substituted a NEMA 14-50P for the L14-20P and...

Anybody want to join me in beta testing DigiNow's new Super Charger? The Super Charger can work in addition to the onboard 3.3 kW AC charger; similar to the mods the Leaf guys did adding their Brusa's (http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=12323&hilit=brusa) Ben is riding his Zero...

Needed more light in the cargo area. I'll also be adding a few more LEDs to the interior lighting whilst the interior of the car is disassembled. http://2014chevysparkev.blogspot.com/2016/06/trunk-light-clone.html -Bob K.

Spent the weekend doing this upgrade: The stinky, disgusting details on my blog: http://2014chevysparkev.blogspot.com/2016/02/euro-taillight-upgrade.html -Bob K.

Posted Day 1 on my blog: http://2014chevysparkev.blogspot.com/2016/01/el-blue-goes-to-asheville-or-maybe.html

Took a road trip to Charleston to attend a wedding. Used a Motorola Moto G + BringGo for SatNav, an old 7" Galaxy Tab + Torque Pro for monitoring data. Had time to play with MyLink movie playing. Damn the Lear 3.3 kW! :mrgreen: http://2014chevysparkev.blogspot.com/

I just purchased a JESLA http://shop.quickchargepower.com/JESLA-is-THE-40-amp-J1772-portable-charging-solution-JESLA.htm It comes with these adapters that make it unique in that it can plug-in to almost any power source. So I've been playing with it this afternoon. It works great plugged-in...

Spent 7 laps chasing a gaggle of i3s around Road Atlanta last Saturday. What a hoot! The Spark EV performed well on stock tires and suspension. A little squirrely, yes, but gobs of power. It easily kept up with the Bimmers!

Not a difficult install. Kit is from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5II6GK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00) Install is here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.894618863954091&type=1

There are (now) three Spark EVs in Georgia! https://driveelectricweek.org/event.php?eventid=361

I have a 2014 Spark EV 2LT w/SAE-Combo. I tried and failed to charge at a BMW DC fast charge station recently. The charging station would timeout after no communication with the vehicle. Another Spark EV owner in my area also tried and failed at the same charging station. Same result. Is...

Stumbled upon an ad (Michigan) for a "used" 2014 Spark EV on Autotrader.com. "2LT, CBT option (DC Fast Charge), 125 miles, never titled, qualifies for tax credits. MSRP = $28k. Sale price = $17,900". I bought it. Had it shipped to my home in Ga., USA. Its paperwork showed that it had been...
