Spark has been turned back in to the dealer lease return. The charger is now packaged and ready to sell. Price is $260 and if needed to be shipped, buyer pays for shipping.

There is a video on youtube about some guys testing the spark ev range by driving around LA until they ran out of battery charge. I forgot exactly how many miles they were actually able to drive.
I commute from South OC to Long Beach (42 miles each way). Fully charged the car says 85 miles. I drove to work at Long Beach with good driving habits and setting the cruise control at 62 mph most of the time and no A/C, just radio. I also turned off the headlamps. When I got to Long Beach car...
