Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, you are right, the 12V battery might be the issue. Though, in the Volt, this battery powers the vehicle's computer system. This is why they call it "special". It is really important to get the BCI number correct. And when you replace it, just follow the proper procedures (in case you don't...

That's solid! I appreciate you taking the time to add that, thanks! In the meantime, things have calmed down a little.

Ups! It seems I have missed that one. You are right! Now the thread makes more sense to me. 😎

Thanks for all the insights, everyone! Now I know what I should expect about the range. I will definitely look into preconditioning and using heated seats to save on battery power.

If you guys want to remove the strut, here is what you should expect: - remove components like wipes, the wiper motor, and a part referred to as the "cowl thingee. - use an impact wrench to remove bolts and nuts; - I used a spring compressor for springs; - this is not a quick job at all - it...

@TomK, I will mention your reply to her (especially the rear seats folding down and that extra space). Hopefully, the idea of making Costco runs more efficient will win her over, haha! @Randy960, I really appreciate you took the time for the pictures. I hadn't thought about the rear seat delete...

The Spark EV really is a blast to drive, isn’t it? That instant torque catches everyone off guard at stoplights. Chevy did a pretty solid job bringing in the Volt tech to keep the price reasonable. The extra weight makes it a little stiff on bumpy roads, but the fun factor from all that torque...

Hi, guys! I am looking to join the Spark EV space. I am very enthusiastic about this. But there is a problem... My wife doesn't want to. In her opinion, the trunk is too small. How can I convince her? Any ideas pls?

Heard about this. It pops up with a few older Chevy Spark. Try a soft reset by disconnecting the battery for 10-15 minutes.

City range 128 mpg? Are you sure about that? I mean it would be great, but considering it is lower on the highway, I would go for a second source on this.
