For the majority of people here, this car is our first EV. I figured that my out of pocket for 3 years is $113 x 35 -$2500 rebate = $ 1,455 I think I will depreciate more than $1,455 if I bought and sold it in 3 years.

They throw some high numbers to advance their agenda. They learned from Solar companies who use some expensive 30 cts KW rate to show how much you're saving, or EV companies who use a ridiculous low 10 cts kw and a very high $4 a gallon of gas to compare. I also spend about $30 a month to...

I have mine installed on the driveway for 11 months now. I turn it on every night to charge, and turn it off in the morning when I unplug. The green light kind of bugs me :D .. It feels like wasting electricity..

There wasn't any disposition fee when I and a bunch of people Leased in April. Maybe it's something new. The Fiat 500e do charge around $495 fee.

It's not reasonable to compare your quote with what people paid earlier in the year when they were trying to get rid of them. Now the inventory is so tight, and prices so high that I would suggest you look for a different vehicle.

Does Texas have any HOV benefit for EV's ? I use the carpools a lot now by myself :D

I also have 2. A silver and a white one, but they are usually in the driveway, so my neighbors don't see them. Last time I had a small BBQ on Saturday, I had 4 sparks parked outside the house. Some guy with a camera stopped by and took some pictures. He told my dad that he lived in the...

Save the tire for now. You may need to put it back before returning your Lease if the Goodyears are very worn out by then..

I have 2 sparks at home, and charge them after 10 pm for better rates. Just get 2 of the Bosch that are almost free, and install them at where you'll be parking the vehicles.

I never thought about those onramps HOV lanes that do not have to wait the signal light... Is there any reference from the DMV that we are allowed on those too?

I find it strange since we have Prius and Teslas clogging the Carpool lane for years.. but this is Sunny Cali, not rainy cold MD !! :D

I hope I can make it to 36K just in time to return my Lease :) . Will rotate them per manual, but I'm not sure how useful is to rotate them from left to right ...

I paid $500 for XS Wear when I Leased the vehicle. If the original tires only go 20K miles, then I still need to replace them once before I hit 36K Lease limit.

There was an older discussion somewhere here, in which the argument was that you waste more electricity charging the Spark from Zero to Full for 17 hrs at 110 than 7 hrs at 220. Regardless, you should get Bosch charger just for the heck of it.

I think GM or whoever Bank is claiming the $7500 tax credit. Everyone I know who leased one got it. Haven't seen anyone in the forums neither who had it revoked later.

Zoomit was right. The car was off and charging when I tried last time. I also disabled the cord theft alarm. I woke everyone up at 3 am a few times when I triggered the alarm when finished charging.

According to insideevs, there were 226 sales/lease in June so there are some cars out there. Most likely offered to those who are paying the higher price now. They quote: "We don’t expect to see any new inventory of the plug-in Spark until September at the earliest, so one can consider future...

Vehicles settings is grayed out in my car. I may need a software update

$15,000 is not that cheap, considering a new one could be had ( A few months ago ) for less than $25,000 - $10,000 in rebates.

I also charge my 2 cars at night with the Bosch 240V, starting at around 10 PM. The only time I notice the fan is at the beginning of charging if the cars are cold. It goes away after a while. Charging is usually done around 2 am, and when I go unplug them around 7 or 8, I don't hear any fan...
