Haven't posted charts in a while! Looking at RSC's trend, the trendline is a poor but statistically significant fit at 60% R^2. You can roughly see from 2019 to 2020 that RSC's battery went from a period of accelerated degradation to a stage where it stabilized. It didn't seem like his car...

Not sure about Helm, but AlldataDIY offers access to online service manuals. $20 for a month or $60 for a year. I believe there's a spring promotion going on for $10 off the 1-year and 3-year subs. https://www.alldata.com

WOW! :o What a tremendous achievement, congrats! This is a great demonstration that Volt and Spark hardware play nicely together (talking about the CANBUS and GMLAN communication, connector shapes that mate and correct circuit pinouts). Did you verify this with a volt service manual compared...

https://ingenext.ca/collections/used-chevrolet-spark-parts/products/chevrolet-spark-ev-battery-charger-24276660 It says sold out but if you send an email they may actually have one in stock. I've purchased high-voltage parts from them previously this way. Otherwise, start calling scrap car...

MyChevrolet App has recently undergone a significant expansion of its capabilities for the Spark EV with something called the "Energy Assist" feature. It looks like it had an initial rollout in 2020 for the Bolt EV and a refresh 10 months ago. Now just a few days ago, a recent update has...

Have you tried plunging the switch mechanism with your finger to see if #1 it has the expected spring force you encounter when opening and closing the door and #2 if the switch latches and unlatches from the depressed state? The door position switch switches between two voltage dividers that...

I agree with Porsche above, start the warranty process. as a final confirmation, If torque pro is giving huge variance (bolt owners see ±5 kWh allegedly), do a complete charge to 100% to reset the energy screen and discharge until 0-5% or your range indicates LOW. Then read the energy screen...

Hello, I have responded to these points at your original post over at viewtopic.php?p=29147#p29147

Hi Jeremy, I'm "that person" :| . I understand that you've taken the stance that I am trying to mislead people to unwittingly not charge their cars to an indicated 100% over their concerns of battery longevity :lol: . I am aware you have also contacted me with your concern about misleading...

Hey jogail, welcome! Try to avoid keeping the car plugged in 24/7. Li-ion batteries kept at 100% state of charge will rapidly degrade and the car will lose capacity much faster than from regular use. It's actually worse than letting lithium batteries sit fully discharged. The best strategy is...

It would seem like the 56-mile range and 10-12 kWh capacity would be quite anomalous for an odometer reading of only 23k miles, that is if the lithium battery was properly maintained by the previous owner. Can you share some extra info since you have TorquePro? Add a display and see if you can...

An Auxiliary Power Unit for jets in a spark EV... NOT BAD, LMAO. I'd only need aviation earmuffs to go with them! https://youtu.be/2YYqXvAqFeY It's not quite the same micro power unit you mentioned, but I had a good laugh imagining this thing might actually produce some thrust out the back of...

All the EVSE and level 2 chargers over North America have primarily used AC power on those contacts, as a matter of choice, and automakers like Chevy have put fuses in their receptacles to protect their wiring to the on-board charger (20A spark ev fuses, 40A bolt ev fuses), but it wouldn't be...

I've had a deposit in Canada for 4 years now before I went with a Spark... Transport Canada didn't like how they didn't have front and side airbags despite 3-wheel motorcycles being fully legal all while having no crumple zones. Makes no sense. I'm hoping by the time ElectraMeccanica (their HQ...

Yeah so... yeah... I missed that one, LOL! I Did that post on a smartphone. Probably button-mashed it and didn't look close enough before going ahead. An electric RV Spark does sound cool though. Hopefully with more than an 18 kWh pack, unless it had supplemental solar or took the generator from...

Thanks for verifying that. Over the weekend I sent an email to [email protected] asking them directly about the MyChevrolet app and OnStar. they got back to me this morning So no reveal on whether my vin or the 2014-2016 years are affected, but they look forward to continued service? It wasn't...

2 weeks later, Is the code still on? Normally the car should be intermittently testing to see if problems remain, but I haven't a clue know how long it takes. If the code is stressing you out you can reset the code with an OBD II reader and a phone app like TorquePro, or you can get a spanner...

Yeah you could have done something wrong (like trying to install the wrong file type). What XAPK installer are you using, and what XAPK version of MyChevrolet (and it has to be XAPK and NOT APK) did you download to be installed? The latest MyChevolet and MyGMC apps are functioning, so you can...

Good idea to have the smart switch as a "cancel charge" button when you wont' be driving every day. Does the alarm not trigger when you disconnect power from the EVSE? That's what mine did while the doors were locked. Maybe there's a vehicle setting that you have to turn off...

Not at all man, all the data is definitely a lot to take in if you don't know what you're looking for. I'm a numbers junkie, and I do these kinds of calculations regularly for EE and circuit board design work, so I don't get too much of a headache looking at all this, not to mention it's kind of...
