I was thinking how great it'd be if this car was RWD. Handling, acceleration, etc would all improve greatly IMO. Before anyone gets excited and starts saying it'd never happen because of costs, etc...granted. This isn't about reality more than it is about just wondering how this car would be...

I know I know...probably not in the right place on the forum but I figured this would generate more traffic as it's one of the main areas frequented: Cheers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcuFcfQz4aE

As EVs and hybrids become more popular and numerous, the number of idiots who drive them also increases. The lack of etiquette amongst EV drivers is pretty high as I've come to experience. One particular location that has a really high number of morons who bring their hybrids and EVs to...

Was over at the Fiat forums and trying to have a civil comparison between the Spark EV and their vehicle...they don't likey too much.....feel rather threatened for some stupid reason. What is wrong with some EV owners....I see the same crap on the Volt forums too. Very sad behavior.

I am not sure if my main battery pack is failing or not but this is what happened. It's scorching hot today and I was driving home on the 5. When I got going from Glendale to Burbank, I went surface streets to the freeway onramp...started with 105 miles and by the time I got to the freeway...

Jay Leno compares new and old EVs.... New York city used to have electric charging stations every 10 blocks back in the early 1900's...imagine that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRwEXaHTwsY

This is a very interesting and somewhat technical video that I thought is a good piece of information for EV owners and people interested in such things. It's quite long but well worth the watch I think. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/OtfKux9BUnE

Since HID's don't seem to be either readily available or recommended upgrades to our Spark EVs, can anyone suggest or recommend an upgraded headlight bulb? I'm not a fan of the bluish type bulbs...rather I'd like to get brighter white bulbs....or at the very least brighter bulbs that project...

For some reason, both my Remotelink app and MyChevy website fail to update my vehicle's information. My RemoteLink App states the following: Vehicles on this account are not currently supported. On the MyChevy website the error message for the Charging & Efficiency screen states: We're...

Hey everyone, Only had the car three weeks and today my car developed a very unusual brake problem. While stationary, if I press the brake pedal, I hear a loud clicking sound coming from the front area...it's like a solenoid almost clicking on and off. I also hear a constant a weird...

A couple of things I read in the manual that are somewhat odd to me are: "Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the electric drive unit. The repair will not be covered by the vehicle warranty. If you are stuck, do not spin...

When on an incline, being that the electric motor is under load, the sound of the motor (that high pitch whine..not the fake sound) becomes louder and when you slowly press of the accelerator the pitch varies quickly up and down? It didn't seem so loud or erratic when I first got the car...but...

It'd be nice to meet some other Spark EV owners. So I suggest we put together a gastropub GTG and meet up perhaps? Would anyone be interested in this? I live in Burbank so anywhere between Pasadena/Sherman Oaks/Downtown would be an even shot...give or take.

Started off with 108 "range" miles this morning. Went about 6 miles. Ended up with 113 miles of range. Did about 7.1 miles per kWh. No I didn't hyper mile or go 20 mph in a 40 mph zone..lol. Just drove like I do or did with my Fiat 500 Sport (was getting 39 MPG combined with that). Came...

Well it's been a week since I got my Spark EV LT2. Time flies when you're having fun! I got the car with 27 miles on it and now it has 309. Since I reset the trip before I drove it home, I've been getting 5.3 miles/kWh. This translates to about 179 MPG. My driving needs and style are...

Anyone use this feature? How does it work? How do you set the temp? Etc? I've tried finding it in the manual but can't seem to find anything. Cheers

So I finally got the Spark. Leased it for 3 years so we shall see how it goes. I traded in my Fiat 500 Sport. I took a little bit of a hit on it but all things said and done given the fuel mileage advantage and rebate, I come out about $80/month ahead. So here are my thoughts and please keep...

Quick question folks. How does your insurance rate compare to other cars for this car? Higher? Lower? Same? I'm curious if my premium would go up or down and I'm with Nationwide. Cheers.

Anyone know if the headlights can be upgraded? With the complete oversight of no foglights, I would have thought GM could have at least offered projector headlamps or HIDs.... Out of curiosity, there are several HID options for the standard Spark..wonder if they are compatible.
