Hello!
I’ve purchased a used 2015 Spark EV. At best, range has stated 64 miles after driving it off the lot. Now only two months later, it only will charge to 55.
It has less than 28,000 miles.
Definitely feeling like I need to trade this in before it gets worse. I’m a new EV owner but I am aware of the variables with charging too frequently and driving habits.
I guess my main question is... at what point does this become a warranty issue? Will Chevy consider this a warranty issue? Perhaps EV wasn’t the right choice for my situation?
What’s up with the capacity of these batteries if the mileage is so low yet the capacity is so dramatically poor?
Finally—any idea how much a battery replacement would be out of pocket?
