Yesterday, on the way back from a 4:00 AM airport run, stopped at a DCFC for a 10 min pit stop, as I have many times before. Charged to 80%, tapped ChargePoint ID card to stop the session. Powered up the car, put it in D and NO GO PEDAL response. Powered down and back up and noticed a brief...

Sorry but this is important. My '14 with 42k mi. and a tough life in the midwest where salt is used during ice events, or probable ice events, of if they stocked too much salt this season and it's a cloudy day.... :evil: I removed the right rear wheel to check on the brake caliper slider...

So what do you do? I live in EV paradise! http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/02/14/514517425/in-americas-heartland-a-power-company-leads-charge-for-electric-cars Went out for a V-Day dinner to a nice restaurant in a part of town I don't go to much. Looked at Plugshare and...

Today it was plugged in all day on L1 @ 12A. I did a precondition before leaving work. When I got to the car the preconditioning event was done and the dash light was solid green. When I powered up I pressed the Leaf button and saw 4% for 'Battery Conditioning' and 0% for 'Climate Setting'. I...

For extreme cold conditions I'd rather not heat the entire cabin of the car. I drive my Spark EV 95% of the time as a 2 seater, with the back seats down and a large cut-to-fit piece of carpet covering the rear area completely. I'm hoping to MacGyver a thin pvc/pex tubing from side to side...

I stopped a DCFC in progress the other morning for the first time with the Key Fob. The car then had the 'Service Vehicle Soon' light after that. First time for that too.... I then charged the car fully on an L2 later that day. Still had the light on the way home from work, so I call Onstar...

Just out of curiosity!, What heat exchangers/radiators are in the nose of the Spark EV? The Bolt may be similar. The Volt's cooling/heating system is thoroughly explained in this article: http://gm-volt.com/2010/12/09/the-chevrolet-volt-coolingheating-systems-explained/ It's a complex system...

I was getting a pop up warning on my monthly Onstar emails that the '2 yr. Free maintenance is coming to and end.' I saw in the Owner's Manual that: Brake Fluid change and Cabin Air Filter change was due. I got excited! Then after a few phone calls it was pointed out that the '2 yrs' deal is...

I just got my monthly Onstar 'diagnostics report'. Under 'Warranty Tracker' I saw the red triangle. I have until Feb '16 to use my '24 month' free maintenance, I think.... I bought the car used in June of '15. According to the owner's manual maintenance schedule: "or every 2 years" the cabin...

I just now looked into this and still no answer. I had a Volt and used myvolt.com. It had lots of usage data and allowed you to do some of the onstar app functions from a PC.

The Cruise Control buttons are 4 in a row. You have to look to see where your finger is on this row of buttons. Here's a Mod that makes the buttons tactile. This allows finding your place on this row without looking down, for only 4 cents. Only you have to buy 144 of these dots on a sheet. I...

I used a DCFC for the first time while running errands this weekend. My town has 14 DCFC stations and dozens of L2's, all FREE ! Here are some pics of the 20 minute pitstop ! Begin: Thirsty Spark EV @ 44kW: <continued>

When was the battery change made? And at some point was the SAE Combo charging made standard equipment? Was the change made at the model year change or at just some VIN break? Is there a reason to get one battery pack over the other? I know I am only buying one with the Fast DC charging...

I want my Spark EV. I'm willing to ship, just like others. But I'm waiting for clarification to the servicing statement below(my bold). I received this letter from GM on 4-29-15. I've asked twice for more info. I am ready to pull the trigger. I just don't want any surprises... Any ideas from...
