I won't say the LFP Sparks don't lose energy, my 2014 spark capacity dropped to 15.5 kWh usable before I sold it in 2018, while it was 18 kWh+ when I first got it in 2015. There is capacity loss in LFP packs too.

Well it's about 8 years now on the car so, GM doesn't want to do any more work on them I bet.

Very interested in hearing how your battery replacement is going, did you get a new battery pack or a refurbished, a 2014 or 2016 pack?

The Spark EV's charge timer was better than my 2012 Volt's. GM's charge preference timers is head and shoulders above current Tesla (Model 3) which has nothing other than scheduled start time (which is shocking to me TBH). I was able to program all TOU 4 price periods on my Spark EV no problem.

I wonder if they are actually manufactured from Wanxiang since they bought A123 after they went bankrupt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanxiang

Mines was around 15.5 to 16.5 depending on temperature (15.5 in early part of the year, but it went back to 16+ by summer). GOM isn't really a accurate way to measure capacity compared to the energy used and percentage. As my job shifted from a 14 mile round trip to a 60 mile round trip near the...

I think the majority of the range loss is still primarily due to the calendar life IMO. Regarding the bumper/water issue, I think Tesla really needed to more testing prior to mass production, but as long as they're company they won't leave us high and dry. GM definitely has much more thorough...

Any 2014 owners want to report their changes? I did not keep as detailed logs as you guys on the subject, but my overall battery capacity calculation did not change much when I did my update last year. It was reporting around 15.5 to 16.5 KWh available capacity before and after that update.

I went from a 2012 Volt to a Spark, and found the Spark to be a bit peppier since it was a much smaller and lighter car. Volt was definitely better built though and better overall car.

*SOLD*

*BUMP* I still have the car as I never ended up getting a Bolt :(..... BUT I am getting my Model 3 next week! :D :D :D . Priced to sell ASAP! Considering all offers and will sell before my Tesla arrives! Updated main post with Album and Kelly Blue Book values.

I just bought a set of CR2032's from Ikea for $3 (10 pack so $0.30 each). Been working great for the past 2 months.

Vehicle is still available! Sales timing didn't quite work out with the other interested parties.

Yes the car is still available.

Updated price to $7250 as I just replaced the 2 Front Tires with new Kuhmo Solus TA31 as of 6/27.
