Looking for recommendations for wheels to mount winter tires on. Have not ordered the tires yet, but will most probably be 185/55/R15 Michelin X-Ice Xi3s. Was thinking just to get steel wheels, but if there are any decent alloys people have had good experience with, open to that as well. As...

Just passed the 2 year mark of ownership of my 2014 (car has been great), and also the expiration date of the prepaid OnStar plan (I had the navigation package, purchased by the previous owner). I was under the impression that the basic OnStar plan would still allow full basic functionality in...

I am looking for some advice on buying a new set of all-season tires. There are a few other threads that I have scanned through, but have not been able to come to a consensus on what tires would be best. I also have a question on whether I should just stick to the stock spec with 185s up...

I thought when I bought the car I would need to invest in a Level 2 charging station but 13 months into ownership and I haven't really found the need. The circumstance where we have run the battery down to below 50% and do not have enough time to charge it up with enough juice for the following...

Anyone have an idea how much a new car key for the Spark EV would be? I didn't lose a key but I only have one key and have been thinking of getting a second for backup. With it being a smart key and all I am bracing myself for the cost... I can certainly go to the dealer and ask, but thought...

So in just over a week, I will be taking the Spark in for it's first service, 4G upgrade, and probably recall fix as well (hood latch). It's just crossed 12,000 km and so this is it's first scheduled service. I would anticipate that in terms of actual service, it should really just be a tire...

Came across this on YouTube (this is NOT my video/car), surprised we have not seen any threads (especially created by the owner) yet. Definitely a concerning situation there as the car is moving, meanwhile the instrumentation is not there at all or if it's there, not displaying accurate data...

Usually, during a remote start (especially when it is cold, like this morning - -9C), you hear two main sounds (or at least, that is what I have observed). One is the sound of the fans running in the cabin, and the second is (what I would assume to be) the coolant pump, which you hear on and...

Even though I'm an owner, I've been keeping my eyes open for Spark EVs coming into the used market in my area, since the car is still about as rare as a DeLorean around these parts. I stumbled across the following...

Was thinking about a recent trip where I had managed to almost bleed the battery dry (and upon starting out, didn't think it would be a problem). I had 3 adult passengers (prior to that, we only had a max of 2 in the car). It was also cold (was not in the habit of remote starting/pre-heating...

I have not noticed this as a general problem (although I know that all batteries will lose charge gradually just sitting dormant), however last weekend I came back from a drive and I was fairly certain I had a number in the 40s (think it was 44km) in estimated range left. I then left it for...

Have had the car (2014) for about 2 weeks now. Driving pattern has been about 45km roundtrip daily, and charging fully each day. A few days ago, noticed the battery goes up to 93 or 94% and says “fully charged". Range estimate is normal or above average (currently showing 104 miles). I am...

Has anyone come across good quality all-weather/winter floor mats/liners that fit the Spark EV well? I was actually considering Weathertech, (willing to spend the money since I live in the snowbelt), but apparently they are not designed specifically for the Spark EV, despite Amazon saying that...

Just took delivery less than a week ago (bought it used from an independent dealer), and living in Canada where we use a fair bit of salt in the winter, was thinking about rust proofing and whether it would be recommended (or even possible) for the Spark? My other vehicle is a Prius and while I...

Hello everyone, new to the board and I'm from Toronto, Canada. I went to have a look at a used 2014 Spark EV 1LT with very low kms (<1500) and the on the road price would be about $20000, which I think is fantastic for essentially a brand new, four-door electric car. It's on hold for me while...
