Best I can find around here is $1400 down, $93/month. Not too bad. Might pull the trigger finally.

Anyone have any idea how long this new funding will last? Based on some quick calculations it looked like it would cover maybe 30,000 total rebates. At the rate of sale of 4000 rebates per month (https://cleanvehiclerebate.org/eng/rebate-statistics) I am guessing that there may be a solid 7-8...

CSW what is your monthly payment and what dealer did you get yours from? I'm looking for the best deal in the North Bay but not coming up with much.

http://www.carsdirect.com/deals-articles/best-green-car-deals "In an unexpected move, GM has cut last month’s stellar $139/month, $0 down lease on the Spark EV to a mere $111/month with $0 at signing. If you were on the fence about leasing, now is the time to do so— we expect inventory to...

I'm sortof thinking the same thing right now. I could get one of these for myself and have three cars in the family. I have my Focus up on RelayRides and if I rent it out 2-3 times per month it gets paid for and I save a good bit of $ having the EV around to drive to pick up kids from school...

@NomadMac - great minds think alike hey Martin! We're still going back and forth about this. My wife wants to wait another couple years and get an EV with better range. I can't argue too much against that idea, but I really do like the "Spark now!" idea too. Currently we're looking to see if we...

Is 60mph sort of the threshold for efficiency? What are the temperature thresholds for efficiency, does it just have to be at least 50deg or so before you notice the cold hurting kW/mile? Sorry if this has already been discussed a million times.

Mostly she is driving in traffic at slowish speeds, very little if any open road freeway at 70mph. I'm guessing this is where the EV will excel? We're exploring other parking ideas, maybe we can dig up a place to plug it in while she's working. If that's the case, then getting a Spark EV is a...

It IS hard to believe, isn't it? She works at UC-B and still the parking situation there is so dismal that there aren't any locations for her to park next to a plug and still walk less than a mile to her building on campus. Shameful for such a "progressive" city and campus to be this situation.

It's ok if it's close but 95% of the time attainable. Temps are so moderate here that she won't mind not having heat or cool most days. But that's just it, will it work or not? We keep reading reports of 100+ mile range in perfect conditions, 80 under tough conditions, very few of less than that...

I really want my wife to get a Spark EV but we're not entirely sure if it will make the commute. Her drive is about 36 miles each way and she does not have the option of charging at work. She drives from Petaluma to Berkeley every day and we just want to try out the Spark EV for maybe two full...

So based on this we should expect generally good results and minimal rubbing by swapping out all 4 tires to 195/55/15 of a version with better grip? I'm very curious how there is "drastically" less traction control intervention by increasing the diameter of the front tires relative to the...
