Realistic? No, not when I have a 60 mile trip I have to take on a daily basis. Thank god this car is a lease! The car gets charged to full just about every time it's driven more than 10 miles or so. It gets charged to full 5x per week, sometimes more often. I also don't drive nicely (80+ on...

I've had my 2014 Spark for now a year and 8 months. The car now has 23k on the odometer but my battery life has suffered greatly. I began with 80-100 miles of range (depending on my driving style and weather), but now I'm getting 60-75 miles. I've used the built in battery usage meter, and...

I did a bunch of research last night and will be calling a few places this week. I know for ceramic it will probably cost close to $700 for the whole car to be tinted (windshield included) for ceramic. Maybe even more. Ugh. So hard to justify that plus the extra $200-500 for an L2 charger...

I've bought that brand of sun shade before and they're very nice. I now buy one for just about every car I have. For $30 its nice to have one that fits perfectly. Although, I can't deny I'm thinking about just getting ceramic tint all around, and that includes clear ceramic tint on the front...

19kw? So the new battery is smaller than the one in the 2014? I noticed the torque is down from 400 to 327. Hope they can keep the same range...
