Simon Andre's Spark EV mod using an Espar Diesel coolant heater near the passenger side strut. I wouldn't have gone with the 2.4 gallon tank but they probably bought a few for their Bolt EV customers

No, but I've been thinking about it for a while now too. You might be interested in this video of a guy named Gav installing one in his Citroën C-Zero / Mitsubishi i-MiEV. He has posted a lot of detailed content about his trunk-mounted install you can find here...

Could use a dedicated thread about this. Neutral will cut power to the auxiliary fluid pump located next to the 1ET35 coaxial gearbox and inside the drive unit [1] [2]. The case holds 4.2L of Dexron III transmission fluid and the aux fluid pump circulates it around the planetary and...

One benefit to having a larger battery is the ability to run all the 12V systems beyond the moment the APM stops providing power from the high voltage lithium battery. This is a particularly salient issue once the high voltage traction battery quits under 250V or while the car is off or in...

I will share snapshots along this route to...

DC fast charging has losses. You may have paid for 4 kWh at the station's meter but less than that will have been responsible for moving your lithium from the cathode and electrolyte into the anode to intercalate with the graphite structure. More voltage than necessary is required to overcome...

It's more likely more significant than that, since AGM can handle 80% depth of discharge without significant loss to its lifecycle and capacity degredation. That means that a brand new 50Ah AGM would effectively have 40Ah, wheras the LFP battery can comfortably manage 100% DoD with many...

You have shared an important piece of information. It's clear, your 12V battery is dead. After 6 months it probably doesn't hold a charge. You need to jumpstart or boost the car to get it out of there. Drive slow and carefully and keep the car running for a couple hours to try to add some...

I can think of two approaches you might consider while using TorquePro. In TorquePro you can go into its PID Editor after long pressing on a display and entering Display Configuration. In this submenu, you can modify the direct equation for the PID (for example, subtract 40), as well as...

@broken spark had a similar problem with P1E00 and some other codes which caused a no-start condition (high voltage system lockout) over at https://www.mychevysparkev.com/threads/spark-ev-died-while-driving.9529/ Resolved by reprogramming the HPCM2 with a VCX Nano and AC Delco TDS subscription...

Any updates on this problem, did sbruslind solve your issue?

Same thing happened to me a couple years ago, dealer didn't realize the wheels were staggered. OEM has 185/55R15 on the fronts and 195/55R15 on the rears. If you plug those numbers in on https://tiresize.com/comparison/ you can see the difference in width and height. It's a taller and wider by...

The touchscreen in the Sparks and Volts are resistive, right? The other thought, if it's not a depression on the screen from some form of impact damage, is that something may be in contact on startup, piece of dirt/debris on a corner of the frame that you can't see from your seat. Maybe get...

Yeah I have more than a few times completely run out or driven at 1kW full throttle. The level 2 EVSE I had planned to stop along my way home was offline so I had no other choice but continue or call a tow. In one instance, the Sparkev died on a 1.2km long hill with an elevation gain of 80...

Yeah I have plenty of experience with this, I'll work on a reply now.

First of all, congratulations on unbricking your Spark EV. You powered through all the uncertainty and familiarized yourself with the VCX nano. To answer your first and second posts, there are procedures to reprogram the BMS and relearn cells, it should be detailed to some extent in the service...

Do you agree with the following statement about you: Akarius: "the guy that installed [Spark EV DC Fast Charging] there [City of Trois-Rivières] worked for us [Véhicules Électriques Simon André , Ingenext] before and left with our schematics. In a deleted thread the following statement was...

Lost my original response to a browser crash so I'll try this again... I have to say you've been doing some excellent troubleshooting, data collection and forum sleuthing. If you want more insight I would recommend Alldatadiy.com . This is what I use if I have problems and need guidance from a...

You got it. Those bolt PIDs will list all 96 of the battery cell voltages. I use a permanent OBD2 tool such as the OBDLink LX in the Spark EV to give me realtime data and share that with navigation apps like A Better Route Planner to read my state of charge and power. I went with OBDLink...

This has happened before, here are some similar experiences in these thread: https://www.mychevysparkev.com/threads/anyone-had-a-2014-chevy-spark-lock-up.9277/ https://www.mychevysparkev.com/threads/power-loss-during-driving.5094/...
