Yes, I remember lots of cars going 90 MPH in reverse prior to the Obama administration, just like they do in other countries now. Many, many people have called me and told me about their cars being able to go 90 MPH in reverse. The NFL even called me and told me that they wanted to have cars...

147 MPGe @ 18324 miles.

Mine did not update either. I gave it a few days then manually updated it.

What is your objective? Keep in mind that our Spark EVs will be the ones with tiny batteries only charging at 50 kW, hogging the DC chargers for "hours and hours and hours" in a few years time. Demonizing the Leaf, for whatever deficiencies it may have, does not seem like it will have a...

Strike while the iron (err Wife) is hot! The next moment she says OK, go get it! If this is not going to be your only vehicle, then you can keep your range extender (ie gas engine) in your wife's car and just take that when your trip would be inconvenient in the Spark. Hopefully you like...

How far is your typical trip (total miles, not distance of farthest point)? When I lived in a rural community, most of my trips were pretty short. We find the Spark EV using only home charging to to be sufficient for over 90% of our car trips, public charging gets us another 5%, with the...

From the website you referenced EV-TOU-2 exists so you don't need to install a separate meter and can likely be switched over at the start of your next billing cycle, should you request it.

Having been through a similar experience, repeated on a couple of occasions, I consider the fact that it worked when you disabled Bluetooth to be a coincidence. The physical modification corrected the problem my car had working with the ABB Model 53 DC chargers used by NRG. I have successfully...

This seemed like a good idea to me when I first bought my Spark EV, but seems less relevant after having the car for over a year. I have never had anyone unplug my car while it was charging. My L1 charger is the only one that I would actually want to lock to reduce the likelihood of theft, and...

I found the paperwork I got from GM. Document ID: 4003620 PI1382 Dec 18, 2014 The url printed at the bottom is https://gsi.ext.gm.com/gsi/showDoc.do?docSyskey=4003620&from=ns This reports that I am not authorized to view this information, but this is the same document as...

I have successfully charged at one the BMW DC chargers with my 2014 Spark EV. This was after the "fix" linked too above had been done by the dealer. I had to use my charge point card to active the charge, but there was no cost and everything worked as expected. I had the dealer make a copy of...

Someone else posted a link to http://vitalysmobileautodiagnostics.com/6504/intermittent-unable-to-charge-from-dc-fast-charge-2014-2015-chevrolet-spark-ev in one of the other treads. The images look to be the exact ones in the service bulletin, and that is what was done to my Spark EV.

The dealership did performed this modification to my Spark EV back in December/January. Prior to this, I had not been able to use any DC fast chargers (NRG were the only thing in the area available to test). After this modification, I have successfully charged at 5 different DC fast chargers...

After several failed DC charging attempts with no successes, and much nagging of both NRG and Chevrolet; Chevrolet shaved some of the plastic off the connector on the car. There is a service bulletin on the issue, but I forget the number. In any case, after having that done, I have...

I have a Power Max™ 30A mounted outdoors next to my driveway for about a year now and have not had any issues. It is shaded by a tree so does not get a lot of direct sunlight. It does get wet when it rains and I will spray if off with the garden hose after it rains because all the dirt washes...

This is the response I received from Brammo's regional business manager when I inquired about parts availability before buying my Empulse R.

I believe that US law requires auto manufactures to make parts available for a minimum of 10 years. Not to say it will be reasonably priced, but at least it will be available.

Yes, that was supposed to be Smurf Lightning. I have corrected my original post. A word of advice, don't ever sing "Smurf Lightning" to the tune of "Greased Lightning" in the presence of your wife. I was going to get vetoed anyway, but that did not help my argument. I don't think John...

Congrats on your new car without any remorse! Ours is called Bluebell because the wife vetoed Smurf Lightning.

SteveC5088 was just indicating that your EVSE also needs to be rated at or above whatever it gets set too. You mentioned earlier that you have a "Jukebox 40 Pro", which I am assuming you meant "JuiceBox Pro 40" which I believe can be set as high as 40 amps...
