    Any interest in the 2015 Service Manual?

    I have the full set of 2015 Chevy Spark EV service manuals. I sold the car, so I don't really need the manuals anymore. Looks like they go for $400 new, any interest in $200 + shipping?

    California Clean Air Vehicle Decals

    If you had stickers issued in 2017 or 2018, you are eligible for red stickers. Otherwise your stickers will expire at the end of the year. The DMV should send you a letter ether way to inform you.

    100,000 miles on Spark

    All production Volts use batteries from LG Chem, not A123.

    Battery too low to fast charge?

    I’ve fast charged before when it said “low” on the GOM, I don’t know what the exact SOC was, but it did start and charge as normal. I have had a failure to start charging from DCFC, the car was being towed on a dolly, with one of the safety chains slightly brushing the ground. I realized it was...

    First public 350kw charger opens today!!!

    EDIT: Old post but want to clarify that below the edit is incorrect. I've learned quite a bit more about these cars since 2018 ;) These cars can in fact pull up to 150 amps at low SOC, and I have witnessed my spark EV do so. Works out to ~56 kW max. ------------------------------ Doubt these...

    First public 350kw charger opens today!!!

    Tesla SuperChargers have been 120 kW for several years. 90kW back in 2012. Of course, not public if you don't own a Tesla... :roll:

    Long Term Storage

    For 2015-2016's it appears that the TMS can run with the car off and unplugged, but it might be only in "extreme" temps http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=18673 I can confirm that the Spark EV can be put into storage mode:

    Long Term Storage

    I'll see if that mode works later today, the Spark EV is mentioned as an applicable vehicle so I would be surprised if it didn't work. Procedure: To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to start the vehicle, activate the hazard flashers, press the brake pedal (automatic...

    Low-clearance snow chains - anybody had success?

    I have 195 tires all around (stock is 185 in the front)... I don't think I have any rubbing, so in theory those chains should be ok. Anyone else run 195's in the front that knows they don't rub? All about tire sizes

    Where do we all live? Sparks are dispersing.

    Not a ghost believer here, but... Taking a new tech car which has a (individual) history of not being reliable.. To place where there's probably a lot less dealer support... Sounds like a massive headache waiting to happen. I don't care if it's a bunch of nuts, bolts, sheet metal and a bigass...

    Spark EV 12 volt battery

    Here's a spec sheet of various ACDelco battery sizes. Our battery is size LN1. Looks like 26R is pretty close, but I don't think that's too much of a popular size ether. http://www.dstgateway.com/ACDelcoDocuments/BatterySpecifications.pdf

    Saying goodbye to my Spark EV and hello Volt

    Planning a set of Michelin Xice tires for winter.

    I have dunlop direzzas on mine, there's a 20% range penalty, but it makes the car so much more fun. I can still break traction when accelerating, but it's a lot less than the ecopas. The motor in this car is insane!

    Is Spark EV BEST Budget option? What should be looked over?

    This is not completely true. There are 2016's with cloth seats and DCFC. However, they are rare. I originally was looking for a 2014 with cloth and DCFC and never found it. I also never found a 2015 with cloth and DCFC. I ended up settling for the vinyl/2015/DCFC. So, maybe chevy made some only...

    Is Spark EV BEST Budget option? What should be looked over?

    That's a long time to sit, hopefully not fully charged. Depending on your location, the value of DCFC could range from "really useful today" to "useless now, but prevents the car resale value from being nearly nothing in 5 years" I would recommend getting DCFC unless the car is just a commuter...

    Max power you can draw from the 12 Volt battery

    The DC/DC in the Spark EV is under the hood and appears to be water cooled. It looks similar to the Volt module but may be completely different. The Spark EV is part number 24267785 if you want to do your own searching.
