TN Frank 10 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 This AutoGuide article indicates that the 2014 Spark EV will only be sold in California and Oregon. I guess it's smart to start out small, in warmer climates to see how well they are accepted. Here's the article: http://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/chevrolet/2014-chevrolet-spark-ev-review-2726.html Link to post Share on other sites

You say that with such a negative tone? In any event, my 2017 Spark I committed to be the last internal combustion engine vehicle I will ever own. Unless I wreck it in the immediate future, I intend on trading it in for a Bolt or other competitive electric vehicle in the coming years. While the Spark EV is dead, the Bolt was a very big upgrade and I was glad to see GM commit. The age of the electric car is finally here. So what kind of range figures did any of the Spark EV owners get? How big is the battery pack and how far do you get? The new Bolt reportedly has a 66KWh battery pack and gets over 400km of range on it. Link to post Share on other sites

sparkto 6 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 This is still a relevant topic, and there aren't any other topics in this section. Hopefully someone can come in and report their findings after a long period, such as battery performance after 5 years of ownership. It is my understanding most batteries are holding up very, very well if they aren't in super hot climates like Arizona. Link to post Share on other sites
Wesjr 0 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I own a 2014 Spark EV. We drive it daily and see around 3.7 miles per kWh. Our 2017 Bolt does about the same. The spark when fully charged shows a 65 mile range. It has 42,300 miles on it. Link to post Share on other sites
Wesjr 0 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 My experience is the A/C works great on 1kW of power. The heater or defroster uses 7kW. This would sure kill the range in a cold climate. i love driving it. Our Bolt goes farther but the spark is more fun to drive. Link to post Share on other sites
