I've also had good luck with Chargepoint chargers, also some (but not all) "generic" ones. You may know this already, but there's a service bulletin for a mod to the Spark's charging port that will help in some instances. See...

OK, so I've been waiting and waiting for a nearby installation of a free public DC fast charger nearby on the way to work. It's finally complete and unveiled a few months ago. Yay! But... here's the problem. I connect my 2015 Spark EV. The charge cycle begins normally, then immediately...

Turns out it's a frozen caliper slide pin. Now I need rear brakes and rotors too:(

By any chance did you happen to notice (or maybe have the the right service manuals to confirm), if it's possible to remove the switch panel that holds the power window switch without removing the entire door panel? See my post...

Thanks for the suggestions. I did consider the emergency brake, but to be honest, I never put it on, so I figured it's less likely to be the issue. Also, I'm curious. I checked at Tire Rack, and the friction brake parts seem to be the same as the ICE Spark. Is that really the case? Sometimes...

Coming up on almost three years now, and my first real problem. My 2015 Spark EV LT2 with around 52k miles now makes this metallic scraping sound. It's worse at very slow speeds. You don't hear it at normal driving speeds; it might be being masked by road noise, but it seems to actually be...

You should consider yourself lucky. When I bought my 2015 Spark with 34k miles, the SECOND set of front tires was already shot (the rear tires were like new). Consider this, it's front wheel drive, plus, with regenerative braking, nearly all of the braking is from the front tires. On top of...

You can find the 2026 Spark EV owners' manual here: https://experience.gm.com/support/vehicle/manuals-guides?compIndex=1&year=2016&make=Chevrolet&model=Spark+EV You can select pretty much any Chevy manual there. (this used to be a sticky post?)

OMG, you're brave!

About two and a half years ago I bought a 2015 LT2 with a little over 30k miles. It needed tires when I bought it, but passed inspection, so I waited a year. About six months ago, I bought wiper blades. This car has cost next to nothing to maintain. I did have two minor problems though...

I'm sorry, I have to disagree here. Yes, ICE cars do lose a bit of range in the winter, but MUCH less than EVs. The primary culprit? Heat. Cabin heating is free on an ICE car. Cabin heating on an EV can easily sap up 40% of your range on a very cold winter day.

The similar pillars on my 2011 Honda Civic LX-S had the same thing happen, plastic-y black wrap started to peel. I was having a dented fender repaired at a body shop. They stripped and painted the pillars black (no extra charge!). They now look perfect, like new.

Sounds like you have the known DC fast charging problem. It's already been posted about with a solution, here, for example: https://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=28612#p28612 At some charging stations, the cable doesn't fit securely and charging fails. There's a service bulletin...

The guessometer is pretty much useless for determining battery health. You could see numbers anywhere from 45 mi to 85 mi on a full charge and still have no idea. Recent driving style has a huge effect. You can get a gross approximation by using two GOM readings and the kWh used since last full...

Oh, bummer. Did you check here? I bought them a year ago and posted several times about them (as have others). Also, Kumho Solus TA31's have come up as a possibility.

These may be the only alternative for an all-weather out-of-the-box fit. If you go to Lloyd's website, you'll see that they actually have two different patterns/styles to choose from: https://www.lloydmatsstore.com/ That being said, I do see an issue with these. There's no "retaining wall"...

Maybe you're already doing this or maybe it's already been suggested (can't quite be sure from the lengthy descriptions), but there's a simpler way to use the delayed departure time feature that requires no calculations, and works the same every time so no thought is needed: Just pick a future...

Very clever, ThomasBrown. You're a spammer all right. You actually copied and pasted someone else's post so it would look real, then, right in the middle of a sentence, you added a spam link.

Boy, we really need a "report as spam" link on this forum. If you see this, moderator, please remove this topic and ban OP and the second poster. ThomasBrown is really a piece of work. In another post on this forum, he actually copied and pasted someone else's post so it would look real, then...

Thanks again, Infinion for the truly helpful response. I always love hearing from you. It's pretty involved, so not sure when (or whether) I'll tackle this myself. It's too bad, a good while ago, someone on here was getting rid of a factory service manual. I DM'ed him but never got a reply. I...
