    Can I use the Tesla chargers?

    Is there any way we Spark EV owners can use a Tesla charger out on the road? Any adapter? Or perhaps a ChaDaMo charger adapter? I'm thinking not, but... maybe.

    Pictures of the Spark EV in the wild...

    Got my racing stripes on and charging station installed and I'm a hittin' the road! All 82 miles of it. :)

    Chrome rims ?

    I'd like to either replace or chrome the rims,but not sure of the consequences. They don't look all the space-agey aerodynamically designed, or anything like that, but even if they are, I think chroming them would be kinda cool. It's expensive, though, so just replacing them would be easier...

    Just finished my first long-haul maiden voyage...

    Well... not THAT long, but more than 82 miles. Actually, almost exactly 82 miles, but I didn't want to chance it, so I got a DCFC along the way and coming back. Went smoothly!! Half Moon Bay to Napa, CA. FC in Pacifica, though I had to call in because I don't have my eVGO card, yet. Both...

    Elecrtrician needed in the San Mateo, CA area...

    The friend of the landlady's procrastinated for two weeks, came by and did nothing, then made a commitment for 5 days later, then basically called in sick and punted. So I'm screwed. He was going to do the work for $75/hr, and figured 4 hours, including going to get the parts needed. I just...

    I just pulled the trigger!! What now?!

    I just ordered a Summit White Spark EV 2LT with DCFC. :) I did an insane lease! $85/mo, 36 months, no haggle, $2950 down, $16k residual, 10k miles/yr. (which is more than enough, as I have another car). My problem is I have to pick it up in SoCal, and I live in NoCal. It's going to be...

    Modify the cupholders...?

    My calf rests uncomfortably right against the bulge of the cup-holder. There's no way around it. I'm half tempted to modify it, somehow. I can live without one cup-holder, if need be. Or, perhaps create some leather-wrapped foam insert to stick IN the cup-holder that has half a muffin top...

    My take on all the EV's I've test driven...

    Not that I'm an expert, or anything. But, my personal opinion... Overall, which car would I buy right now based on price? Easy: Spark EV. If I had unlimited funds? Easy again: Tesla Model S. Of course. If I had $10k or $20k more to blow...? That gets a little harder. The Mercedes...

    2016 Spark EV rumours

    Anyone work for Chevy here? :) I'm thinking the 2016 model won't have much to offer in the way of updates, but I wonder if Chevy might at least give the Spark EV a 6.6kwh charger. It's almost a crime they didn't do that for the 2014 or 2015. But, now with the competition heating up and still...

    Anyone try the VW eGolf?

    I'm wondering how the Spark EV compares...

    Level 2 Charger recommendation

    Does anyone have this charger here, and if so, does it actually work as described? (3-4 hours for a "zero to full" charge) http://www.amazon.com/Siemens-VC30GRYU-Versicharge-Electric-Flexible/dp/B00MFVI92S/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t It is portable, too, which is a real bonus for visiting far-away...

    Anyone over 6'3" in a Spark EV?

    I'm 6'4", medium build, and though I've test driven the car twice, I'm concerned about how comfortable this will be for driving more than my normal half hour commute. Also, if you're tall or wide, I wonder how you feel about the joke of a middle armrest. Has anyone tried modifying that at an...

    Your thoughts on future retro-fit to larger-capacity battery

    Hello Sparky's - I'm trying to justify buying a car I don't really need, but really want here. ;) I'm almost there, though I have some logistical issues in the way, (my landlady seems reluctant to allow me to install a charger in/outside her garage, for one, and a little bit of range anxiety...
