Thanks for the responses. Tire pressure the same. Driving and charging habits and routes the same. Wind not an issue. This has now gone on for three weeks. Enough of a sample size to know that energy efficiency has now dropped over 25 % suddenly. Getting the 12 V battery checked tomorrow. Or...

My 2014 L2 w DFCF Spark EV ( 64,000 miles) was getting 5.1 m/kwh til recently. On a trip two weeks ago I got 5.6 mi/kWh on a 150 mile round trip. My Battery has about 15.5 kWh capacity. I still have the 15.5 kWh capacity but all of a sudden my range is down to about 64 miles while babying it (...

In my 2014 SPARK EV LT2 with DCFC 58,000 miles. 15.5 kWh of battery capacity remaining I have gotten the following message at my last six DCFC charging sessions: 'Charging rate limited to 30% at vehicles request' I got this message from both Electrify America, and EVgo stations. I got this...

Philadelphia PA. I've only seen two other Spark EVs in the wild around here...must be a few more though... 2014 LT 2 with DCFC. Most miles in a day 550. 45,000 miles total...AVG 5mi/kWh lifetime on board.

Definitely get the DC FC. Vinyl seats have worn well after 5 yers they still look and feel good. Low resistance tires god but not necessary. Good luck!

If you find a way let me know. I love the spark EV and would love it even more with a 200 mile range! If we get a few users together maybe we can hire a 'fabricator' to do it? I'm at 30,000 miles with my 2014 L2. No sign of diminished capacity Would love to drvie my Spark forever. I'm on the...

Did my first DC fast charge last week in Willow Grove Pa! Didn't need much juice. I just wanted to see if my DC FC port worked. It did! 7 kWh in about seven minutes.

4200 miles...Onboard m/kWh is 5.5 mi/kWh = 185 mpge. The on star mpge report is listing me at 20 kWh consumed per 100 miles. So 5mi/kWh= 170 mpge including the 'charging loss' updated Feb 22 2016. Winter took a big hit on efficiency. Lifetime mpg e onboard now at 5.1miles/kWh or 173 mpgE. With...

Mark, I will try to make it there for your NDEW event if I am in state. I am about 30 miles east of Kennett. Had a silver Spark EV for about two months. drsurd

Driving my Spark EV in Pa. for the last two months..I think there are a few other Pa. Spark EVs...Hoping to get them out for our NDEWeek event in Sept!

Congrats ELPWR...Did you get it from Miller Brothers in Md? They have a lot of SparkEVs. That is where I got mine. Will be quite a coup if you get the FEd $7500 ITC as well!

After 1500 miles my on board efficiency is 5.5miles/kWh ~186 mpge...BUT on my on star report it is listed as 136 mpge (4.0 miles/kWh) = charging loss of 50 mpge or 1.5mpkWh/5.5kWh or 27%...pretty steep. (or OnStar mistake??) 95% level one charging, overnight mainly. no pre heating or...
