    Congrats. Did you get your Spark from Criswell Chevy by any chance? I think they still have 8 or so new Spark EVs left.

    Spark EV w/DCFC lease! As low as 0 down, 134/month (MD only)

    There is a dealer in MD that has 11 NEW Spark EVs left. Based off inventory searches, this dealer may have over 10% of all remaining new Spark EVs left in the country! Here are the offers I have confirmed the dealer will honor: Spark EV 1LT with Fast Charge Provisions MSRP $26,745.00 Sale...

    Traded in The Green Machine ('16 Spark EV 2LT)

    Went from Lime Green to Salsa Red. The MD tax credit I mentioned is the same as the tax refund you are referring to. I was surprised they were able to beat my current monthly factoring the negative equity on the green Spark! They really want to move those remaining Spark EVs off the lot.

    Traded in The Green Machine ('16 Spark EV 2LT)

    What did I trade it in for? A '16 Spark EV 2LT! Wait, what?! I leased a 2LT Spark EV back in May. I thought at the time I got a really nice deal (MSRP $27,135 2LT for 36 months/10k miles for $150/month, $150 down). After kicking the tires around a bit with the dealer I leased Spark #1 from, I...

    Cost to replace front windshield

    $536.27 list price. I just had my windshield replaced through insurance.

    Cracked windshield :(

    Update: it seems the windshield for my '16 Spark is a special order part, and the glass repair co said it would take a week for the part to be delivered (this according to 2 dealerships they contacted). Is it coming from Korea or something?? Very frustrating, as I just had Spark-eee appraised...

    Cracked windshield :(

    On my commute into work this morning, I see a couple of dump trucks (f___ you!!) merge onto the highway, and soon after, I hear this sickening *CRACK*. After parking at work, I see that a rock from one of the GD dump trucks smashed into the upper-middle part of the windshield, and a 6-8 inch...

    2016 Spark EV battery size/usable capacity....what the

    Depending on how GM programmed the energy display to round (round up .5 and higher? Or just truncate the decimal, with 89.9% still displaying as 89%, etc...). If the energy usage % are merely truncated, that means there could be up to almost 3% margin of error (if each of the % readings is...

    2016 Spark EV battery size/usable capacity....what the

    Here's the full I received from that mod: "Both 2015 and 16 have 19.44kWh total energy (I believe merely a "typo" in the original 2015 spec sheet) This is derived by a 54Ah 2P capacity multiplied by an open terminal voltage of 360V (nominal) In fact it can exceed 20kWh when charging voltages...

    Farm Bureau Discount

    So $25 bucks to save $500 off a vehicle...and it can still be combined with another private offer. Sounds like a winner! And if you purchase/lease multiple vehicles, it's the gift that keeps on giving. :p

    Farm Bureau Discount

    Yeah, but less than $100 (mine cost 60). Best thing is the rebates are unlimited! If you want to buy 5 cars this year, you can get 5 $500 rebates for each car! And still only need to pay the fee once.

    Farm Bureau Discount

    You need to be a member for at least 30 days...then you can request a certificate for the $500 rebate online. It can be combined with 1 other private offer(Chevy private offer, lease conquest, lease loyalty). Unfortunately you would not be able to get one before your private offer expires this...

    2016 Spark EV battery size/usable capacity....what the

    MYSTERY SOLVED!! Well, maybe. I got in contact with one of the moderators on the gm-volt.com forum (he works for GM...probably some kind of engineer), and he told me the 2015 and 2016 Spark EV batteries have 19.44 kWh total energy. He said the press releases of 18.4 and 19 kWh were probably...

    2016 Spark EV battery size/usable capacity....what the

    Can I ask how you measured the amount of energy being put into the Spark's battery when recharging? Were you charging 120V or 240? The '14 Spark has the A123 battery, while the 15/16 Sparks have the a LG Chem battery (same cells as the ones used in 2013+ Volts). I think it is safe to say the...

    Should rename the Spark EV the "Spark SS". Lol

    What charger to get - and from where?

    Huh, I ordered the $449 unit, and my invoice just listed the $449, then the $500 rebate credited under it. I didn't have to pay anything out of pocket. Maybe the person that prepared my order screwed up? Whatever, then can screw up in my favor. :)

    Videos of Sparky Flexing Its Torque

    The Volt is also torque limited up to around 10-15 mph. One way some people have gotten around this is to hold the brake while pressing down on the accelerator. Then when you are ready to go, just release the brakes. If you pressed down far enough on the accelerator, you should be able to...

    What charger to get - and from where?

    I didn't get charged any tax or shipping fwiw. You might4even ve eligible for the 30% fed tax credit too.

    What charger to get - and from where?

    Send an email to [email protected] to get the ball rolling. If you acquired a new '16 Spark EV, you are eligible for a $500 rebate good towards a Bosch EVSE. The $500 will get you a free Power Max 16 amp L2 unit with a 12' cord. I know because I just received my unit from Bosch, and...
