Re: 2016 Spark low charge?

Buyers remorse. I bought a 2016 Spark with 65,000 miles and 75 miles of drive time in April. We are now coming in to September and the max. miles are 58 on a full charge, does that seem correct? New to this forum and appreciate any feedback, thanks Hi Ev4me, welcome to the forum! I'm guessing the S...

Re: How To Get The Spark In Neutral With A Dead EV Battery

Hi there. Hope all is well. How do you get the Chevy Spark EV in neutral if the big battery is dead? Do you need to add jumper cables to the 12 Volt battery? Any help would be a great help. Thanks so much! Hi macarose, is there any update on your situation? Yes, the 12V battery absolutely needs to ...

Re: Steering rack compatibility with other PNs?

OKAY - update. I received the part from Cardone, and it looks great. I also talked to the director of the service center at the dealership, and he was extremely apologetic - admitted they'd goofed, and is going to make this right if I bring the replacement part. Before I go down this road, though, ...

Re: Can I flat tow 2016 Spark EV?

Hey Mike, Whatever wheels an EV motors from will be the same wheels that EV will regen with. The Spark EV is FWD, and therefore the regen is FWD as regen in EVs is done by their traction motor.

Re: Steering rack compatibility with other PNs?

Hi all, My 2016 has developed play in the steering rack (part 95083673), which - after $450 of diagnosis - one of my local Chevy dealerships informed me is a discontinued part. This is true...but it also appears (according to fitment guides that I've been looking at) that the steering rack in the '...

Re: Questions and Data tracking

Haven't posted charts in a while! https://i.imgur.com/bKYx5dh.png https://i.imgur.com/6Miy3Rj.png Looking at RSC's trend, the trendline is a poor but statistically significant fit at 60% R^2.

Re: Looking for '16 Spark EV Helm Service Manual for sale

Not sure about Helm, but AlldataDIY offers access to online service manuals. $20 for a month or $60 for a year. I believe there's a spring promotion going on for $10 off the 1-year and 3-year subs.
