I agree, it's barely effecting the range at all, but when you turn the A/C off you can see the percentage of the climate controls draw dropping pretty dramatically. As far as the actual air flow, it's not even minimal, it's practically nonexistent even at 65 mph. This is the very first car I...

I feel that I am driving close to a perfect car, but there's always room for improvement, right. If someone have figured out the way to have fresh air coming through the vents when driving at freeway speeds without using the fan at all, please share. In the car who's range is dependent on the...

I know it's not what you want to her but at least for me the answer is no. I tried multiple times under different circumstances, but to change it permanently I was unable to do. Should be another reason for you to install the 240V asap :)

I have had the front windshield tinted on another vehicle, it did not work out for me. It was not the ceramic tint, but according to the installer the "next best thing", whatever that means... I had to remove it from the front windshield because it was interfering with my eyesight. I now have...

I had only one opportunity to use the QC at the Quail Hill on my way home when I bought the car in Costa Mesa. It took me awhile i.e. fiddling with the plug, completely disconnecting, trying the L2 charge next to the QC and then going back to QC. Finally two systems were able to recognize each...

I am not very good at this, so I am not quite clear if you are trying to be appreciative or sarcastic towards someone that is really trying to help. As a matter of fact, I am truly appreciative for the link. I think I saw something similar in the owner manual, but not as extensive.

+ 4 ↑ +3 ↑ +2 ↑ I would rather use my phone's G-maps and don't look at the screen than use Bing. Is Bringo based on Bing? if yes, there's no surprise if it fails...

Not a real surprise, but yet another confirmation. I set up my charging schedule pretty much just like the pictures above and every time (so far only 3) battery approaches 20 miles to go, it starts charging immediately. It's like it say "No no no, you don't understand, you need to charge me and...

Thank you for sharing Jeffrey and hope you are fine from now on. You are also probably the first one to have two accidents in the EV Spark. Could it be the color? Looks like pictures were taken in the early morning? Maybe they just don't see you.... Not that they are really looking :( The...

I think it's a valid question/test (and yes there is such a thing) especially for someone who would be thinking of buying a car like this and don't have another/bigger vehicle. As far as the answer to the OP question, yes it does fit two 2x4 barely but it does, actually with couple of inches to...

I think we are getting a little into semantics here, yes sometimes it's called an "emergency brake" most of the time "parking brake" imo. And yes, I do set my parking brake every time I park, even on a completely flat surface. If you never used your parking brake, try applying it in a real...

Oh, I see. That's another thing I didn't know, that just having the traffic in front and around you helps with mileage. That's what he says, if he doesn't see you in the mirror - you don't exist. I am sure the Adaptive cruise control would be very handy in this situation, but having just CC is...

Thanks again, I just have to relearn how to drive CALMLY ! :) Randomly use the cruise control,never follow the big rigs and can't get anywhere without the hills. So results are obvious... :( but I am still trying. Btw, one of my friends is driving a big rig and he really does not appreciate...

Good luck with both the insurance and the purchase, I am sure you will be able to figure it out. It may help finding the insurance company(nies) that have US affiliates that insure the EV Sparks. I called few US companies when I was getting quotes, and not a single one said that they can't or...

Thanks for sharing Chocula! If you don't mind, please tell us what is your driving style/procedure/whatever you want to call it. I am never able to get anywhere close to 5.9 or even 5.3, I usually get around 4.3 :( Thanks,

Hey, thanks for sharing! So you actually ended up T-boning the other car... Glad that Sparky did it's job of protecting you.

I have been tough to set the parking brake (while the "regular" brake is still engaged) before I move the shift lever from the drive. This way the brakes are holding the car and not the transmission. On this car there is no transmission, but something is holding those 3000lbs and I doubt it...

This sounds like an opportunity to call another carrier and see what they can do.... Unless you are absolutely commuted to your current company.

Hope everyone is alright! Thank you for sharing and "congrats" on the second one, not that you really wanted it. I am assuming it was a pretty much a "small offset" type of the collision? How did the driver & if any, the passenger do in the crash? How many airbags deployed? I know that ICE...
