Just called my Bank (Ally) about lease buy out and they said they could not do any better than what was in the lease agreement. There is 0 chance I would pay what is on the residue so I am not sure what they are smoking. I'll try again and probably try to get the leasing department directly and...

Also for noobs out there, make sure you change tires ASAP if you are on a lease. Everyone I talked to who has a spark EV had to replace their front tires because the ECOPIA are crap. I swapped mine at 8500 miles, though it would've lasted to 10K miles. No way it would make it to anywhere near my...

It all depends on how you drive and how "good" you are at the pedals. I found when driving in L, I actually get more range compared to in D. Again this probably due to the way I drive and the aggressive nature of drivers where I live where everyone brakes all of a sudden for no reason all the...

Until we get hard conclusive data, there is really not way of telling if they really have 19KWh or slightly more. I would bet on the latter. Chevy and probably LG also are rating their batteries more conservatively to avoid lawsuit about capacity and to increase longevity of the battery...

I have noticed this too. However probably not as significant as yours. Again the answer might be because of the way you drive. My range meter is slowly dropping back down the the level it should stay at after a bout 2 weeks of driving since the last DCFC.

If your garage is hot, I recommend keeping the plug in. The car occasionally does turn on the coolant and pump things around to cool the battery. To answer your first question, I would say high temperature will degrade the battery faster. I wouldn't worry too much about the full charge thing...

It is not recommended to deep discharge. Li-ion battery likes to be around 40-70% typically. Anything lower or higher will increase the degradation of the battery.

It is free for the first 3 months.

http://www.wentworthchevrolet.com/portland-chevy-spark-special-discount-offers-oregon Not sure if we CA resident can take advantage. I would try for this deal if I don't already have the Spark EV. According to ads, it is only for Oregon resident. I suspect because they don't pay sale taxes over...

Actually i had a few female friends who like the spark ev. They say it is cute. It takes a real man to drive one of these hhahaha. Anywho yeah i love this car. The rpad noise is a bit more than other luxury car and the tires can use an upgrade. Obviously it is not a tesla, but heh i am doing it...

177 with 0 down is pretty good after the 2500 back from CA. Is the 0 down including the 1st month lease with all the fees and taxes associated with the lease? If so it is a decent deal given the right mileage per year. As far as I know the DCFC is an option. So you will have to verify it is...

Yes the title is a bit misleading but i think the deal is legit. I think it is way cheaper than even driving a prius if you have solar to cover the moles you are going to do on this vehicle.

That is one fast looking car. And it has the torque to prove it too! Was it worth the cost though for the lease? You will have to return it.

Wow that is a nice deal! Damn i shouldve talk them down. 15k would have been worth the extra 15 dollars per month. They wanted 15 more per month for the 12K miles per year. Also the fast charger would have been nice. I got the dirt cheapest. O well live and learn. At the current rate i will have...

Was the recharge free?

I think it has been this way for a while. 23950*15% - 10000 = ~ $17500. 15% for tax, registration, fees, etc. Still a great deal, but I think at that price, it would've been better to get the Ford Focus Electric 2014 around Oct timeframe for that amount after CA tax and Federal rebate. Not...

Nice car! You are going to love driving it! I drove it and now I cannot drive my gas car much longer. But I cant just get rid of it yet. Soon enough. : ) As for the extra miles, i figured go for the cheapest and stop driving it 2.5 years in. I figured by then there will be much better electric...

Seems like the reviews are mostly positive on Amazon. Sure there are a few bad one, but there are always a few. I would be highly skeptical if there were NO negative review.

Yeah now I cannot get any updates status from my car on my phone anymore.

Yeah i should clarify it is the accessorie battery. The same 12V battery in every car. I am not sure if the other battery is ddisconnectable from the front hood access.
