Hi all, my 2016 Chevy Spark EV died on me while on the freeway and the guessometer was showing 30 miles left. Luckily I was able to coast most of the way home and when I plugged it in the display showed 0 miles left. After a charge it seems fine but I’m wondering if I should take it in to the dealer for servicing.
My commute is very regular, 28 miles round trip with minimal traffic in the morning and lots of traffic on the way home. I usually charge after two days of commuting. With the recent “shelter-in-place” traffic very light both directions and I drove much faster then usual. So it makes sense that I ran out, but shouldn’t have the guessometer realized I was about to run out of juice? The car didn’t cut off the radio or anything so I thought all was good (minimum showing was at least 20 miles).
I’ve noticed in the past week or two the miles has jumped as I drive. For example, I’ll start the car and it says 60 then after 10 minutes of driving it’s showing 80.
Is there a way I can reset this system myself?
Thanks all, I love this car and hope to figure this out.
