    Problems with DC fast charging

    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...

    Scraping / squealing sound

    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...

    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...

    Charge door switch replacement

    Lately, I've noticed that if I accidentally leave the charge door open, I no longer get the "Charge Door Open" warning. Is there anything besides a bad switch that can cause this? If it is the switch, how do you access and change it? Thanks:)

    How to change window switch?

    I need to replace the front passenger window switch on my 2015 Spark EV. The dealer wanted a crazy amount, $175 just for the labor, to do this replacement. It looks pretty simple, remove one screw, pop the panel off (the switch panel, not the entire door panel), replace the switch, then put...

    How much electricity, really?

    I have not yet, but am planning on getting a wifi charger so that I can get a reduced electrical rate from my local utility. But I am curious. Has anyone out here compared the actual, measured kWh supplied from the utility with the expended kWh driving? I make all sorts of observations about the...

    Wrong headlight indications?

    Am I crazy or what? Has anyone noticed that with the headlights in "auto" mode, the indications are wrong, swapped, completely backwards? At night, when the full headlights come on, the symbol for parking lights is displayed on the main LCD instrument cluster (symbol looks like ... cat's...

    Windshield washer does not work.

    Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated, especially those with service manuals. My windshield washer does not work in my 2015 Spark EV. Funny, I just thought it was out of fluid, but use it so rarely, I never got around to filling it. Well, now that I decided to fill it, I discovered that...

    Recommended Maintenance?

    So, my 2015 Spark EV just turned 45k mi. I purchased the car in March of '21 and don't have any kind of service history. Overall, not very much is recommended, but: The manual recommends changing vehicle coolant circuits, presumably, all of them (interesting that all have the same life)...

    Winter performance?

    I bought my 2015 Spark EV in March of last year. Right now, in the winter in Long Island, New York, we're only driving it a few miles a day. So, not all that concerned about range, I've been using the heat pretty much like I would on an ICE car, just to see what would happen. Now, I was...

    No heat in my 2015 Spark EV

    I did a quick search in the forum and couldn't find anything, but I think the cabin heat has stopped working in my 2015. When I turn up the temperature, once I get near the max, I can hear a change in the sound of the incoming air, suggesting that the air is rerouted at some point, but no heat...

    Acceleration with AC on

    Every now and then I turn on sport mode, turn off traction control, turn off the air conditioning, and stomp on the accelerator, just for a bit of fun. But then I thought to myself, this is an EV. Do I really have to turn off the AC? In an ICE car, the air conditioning compressor is...

    No Android support?

    Well, I guess it pays to read the manual. Am I really reading this correctly? The USB port in the car only supports iPhones (and flash drives)? Android phones aren't supported at all for wired USB connection? That's crazy. Somebody please confirm. I have a 2015 Spark EV LT2, just purchased in...

    Adapter / extension cord in one?

    Has anyone seen a NEMA 14-30 male to NEMA 14-50 female combination extension cord / adapter all in one piece? I know I can buy the adapters and use a separate extension cord, but if possible, I'd rather have one 25 or 30 foot cord, all in one, more reliable. Yes, I also know I can just buy the...

    Add MyLink Apps?

    Hi everyone. New here and a new owner of a 2015 Spark EV LT2, which we love so far. I have so many questions, but for now, I'm trying to figure out the MyLink system, and how to add apps, presumably, to the "smartphone link" menu? A google search shows that there are "thousands of apps...
