2015 Silver LT 17000 miles, asking $8990. It's been on sale for quite some time. They didn't take my offer when I was looking for a car, lowest they went was $10500. I ended up buying a brand new Bolt, but still, I can't believe how good of a deal this potentially can be. Wife won't let me...

As the OP, this is basically what I am asking. Technically if it's able to handle 240v right out the box, then basically you can charge twice as fast as level 1 and 2/3 of the level 2 charging speed for the Spark. 240v x 8a = 1.92 kw 240v x 12a = 2.88 kw However, if you wanna be safe, then...

EVSE Upgrade.com seems to have options to upgrade the EVSE for Volt and Bolt. However, somebody is able to use the Bolt EVSE @ 240V-12amp and just get an adapter off etsy.com for three phase NEMA 15-XX and 21-XX, website stating should work okay with Bolt and Volt (+2016) EVSE.

1) Can you use the Bolt EVSE on the Spark EV? 2) Is the Spark EVSE 240V capable just like what I heard about the Volt/Bolt EVSE?

Great deals are out there, but some local Bolts are getting $4500 dealer discount on top of the $7500 tax credit, + WA tax exemption, the lowest trim Bolt is $26245. And who knows how much lower you can bargain. Double the price of the 2015+ Spark and get 3X the battery size, one extra passenger...

Yea, great deals are out there, but some local Bolts are getting $4500 dealer discount on top of the $7500 tax credit, the lowest trim Bolt is 26245. And who knows how much lower you can bargain. Double the price of the Spark and get 3X the battery size, one extra passenger and 2.5X the range …...

I'd like to start a list of parts that are shared (same part numbers) between the EV and the regular Spark, even though I don't own one yet. Like to get an idea of availability of parts for a limited production car. 1. Brakes (rotors, calipers, brake lines, is it even hydraulic? pads) 2...

Does anyone know if the rear bench seat is two separate pieces?

There's a 2016 with 5500 miles for $13652 for sale for some time, guessing probably 30 days or so. Wonder how much I should offer, esp considering I almost got a 2015 with 14000 miles for 8500?

@SparkevBlogspot From your prediction, the 2015/2016 may degrade slower, maybe 1 to 2 extra years until it reaches 50%. The 2014, being 1 year older, therefore technically you'll get probably 2-3 less years until 50%, am I reading your post/blog correctly? (I read your disclaimer) :D Lastly...

@SparkevBlogspot So you have to live in California to even be considered for the Chevrolet 8 year battery warranty?

In all seriousness, based on personal experiences and all the reading off this forum, would you guys wait for a 2015+ Spark or get a 2014 for a lower price? I'm thinking about bargaining to at least $7000 on this 2014 with 28000 miles, pending finding out DCFC option. Should I ask them to...

Yea, this is a whole different topic. Come hang out at http://www.endless-sphere.com. There are a lot of great commercially built electric mountain bikes using the Yamaha or the Bosch motor. If you want to DIY, there are tons of options, but likely won't really have the fine torque sensing...

I'd like to have options

Nice, brand new battery!

Not that I will take 3 people in the back and I know how dangerous or possibly illegal this may be. I read Uber does not allow the Spark to be used as a passenger cars due to lack of seat capacity. However, having that option for unexpected situation would be great. I grew up taking trips in...

>>>>Have you figured out how to tell if they are lying? When their lips are moving. :lol: I tried not to chitchat with them but they kept trying to ask what I do for a living. I actually rode my home-built electric bike there. I should have said, "I'm here on a Wednesday morning, rode...

I know this maybe a little of a taboo topic, but anyone thought of converting their back seat into a bench seat and at a seat belt to make it a 5 passenger car by importing parts from the global market (ie Mexico/Europe/Asia)? I wonder if the seats and mounting points are the same, given the...

They called back, agreeing with my price but said there are other people coming in to check out the car and so I must act now. Unfortunately, urgent situation arose that I can't buy the car right at this moment, not that I'm playing a hard bargain with the dealer. Maybe I should wait for bolt...

I probably should have offered lower say 8000, because I just said I don't want to play the game, 8500 or call me. Came back 3 times, I said "nah, nah, nah, thanks, I'll think about it." But they haven't called yet. The car is in great condition though, nothing missing, few stains here and...
