Re: 2016 Spark low charge?

The range between extreme winter and summer varies for all cars actually. It's less noticeable when you have a car capable of >300 miles of range of course, but its typical for ICE and EV to all lose 20-30% in winter. I'm sorry, I have to disagree here. Yes, ICE cars do lose a bit of range in the w...

Re: Wrinkles in black trim tape between doors, how to fix?

The similar pillars on my 2011 Honda Civic LX-S had the same thing happen, plastic-y black wrap started to peel. I was having a dented fender repaired at a body shop. They stripped and painted the pillars black (no extra charge!). They now look perfect, like new.

Re: Tesla Magic Dock & 2014 Spark EV Not Good News

Sounds like you have the known DC fast charging problem. It's already been posted about with a solution, here, for example: https://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=28612#p28612 At some charging stations, the cable doesn't fit securely and charging fails. There's a service bulletin to fi...

Re: Range and battery health for used Spark EV

The guessometer is pretty much useless for determining battery health. You could see numbers anywhere from 45 mi to 85 mi on a full charge and still have no idea. Recent driving style has a huge effect. You can get a gross approximation by using two GOM readings and the kWh used since last full char...

Oh, bummer. Did you check here? I bought them a year ago and posted several times about them (as have others). Also, Kumho Solus TA31's have come up as a possibility.

Re: GM all weather floormats in the Spark EV (Part 95259816)

I just ordered these all-weather floor mats, and they have a set specifically tailor-cut for the Spark EV. After you click on the Make/Model/Year selection boxes a "Details" box opens up that allows you to select EV/Non-EV. I just received the mats today and they fit perfectly in the Spar...

Re: Outdoor Wifi Smart Plug with 120 Volt EVSE

Maybe you're already doing this or maybe it's already been suggested (can't quite be sure from the lengthy descriptions), but there's a simpler way to use the delayed departure time feature that requires no calculations, and works the same every time so no thought is needed: Just pick a future time ...

Re: How i changed my transaxle fluid

Very clever, ThomasBrown. You're a spammer all right. You actually copied and pasted someone else's post so it would look real, then, right in the middle of a sentence, you added a spam link.

Boy, we really need a "report as spam" link on this forum. If you see this, moderator, please remove this topic and ban OP and the second poster. ThomasBrown is really a piece of work. In another post on this forum, he actually copied and pasted someone else's post so it would look real, t...

Re: Charge door switch replacement

Thanks again, Infinion for the truly helpful response. I always love hearing from you. It's pretty involved, so not sure when (or whether) I'll tackle this myself. It's too bad, a good while ago, someone on here was getting rid of a factory service manual. I DM'ed him but never got a reply. I guess ...
