Nice to know. Thanks.

I just clocked my miles today going almost the furthest as I ever go, came exactly to 84 miles, mostly freeway driving. There is no QC that way, but if I went the opposite direction, I'd have that one station in the middle of San Diego available, assuming it's working 100% of the time. It seems...

Thank you both, and no, I don't think I am that close to the edge or will be, but juice savings are savings, especially if you are in fact going into uncharted territory. You can probably tell, I don't have the "range anxiety" at ALL :) Probably the easiest for me would be presetting the...

Thank you for the explanation! I think this is possibly the reason why they are changing the gearing to a slightly higher number for the 2015 with a "smaller" battery. So, based on the above, they could have adjusted the current flow a little to compensate for the gears and not loose the...

Haha, I actually went early in the morning and could tell which side was exposed to the sun because it was showing 46lbs. of all the vehicles (driven only the LEAF) I still like the Spark the best mainly because of the lease price for what it offers. I am still a little concerned with the DC...

Thank you, Now that makes sense.

Nice, so how much otherwise the Bosch would cost you and why only $60 for the Voltec? Is there a rebate on that? I thought they offered rebate on the Bosch as well. Thanks,

I know I am going to get a lot sympathy from the rest of the country, but... My question is, how you defog (in my case) the windshield? I doubt my car will be sitting outside as my current vehicle does. So on the foggy morning, it will probably start fogging up from the inside and precious...

Thank you very much and very informative data. Yes, I live in San Diego and do have at least one SAE capable station. Don't know if it's operation and how reliable, but there is ONE. So if I need to go southbound from my home, I'd feel much better, going north not so much. The next closest one...

Thanks supcrds, So i guess it is possible to beat, not by much but still. according to my math it will come close to $184 a mo (with no money down) plus tax and fees. I am guessing the higher the down payment, the lower is the lease rate? Doesn't make any sense to me on a lease, but that's what...

Thanks, but hmm... That's like $261 out the door including tax for me and I am currently paying $269 on the similar lease for 2013 Camry Hybrid that I barely negotiated. On one side I'd like to see what the 2015 brings as far as features/lease deals, but I am also afraid to lose the 2014 "deals"

Oh well... Pardon my ignorance, but I really have no incentive to trust whatever "team" is representing the dealer/manufacturer. The fact it never (according to them) happened to anyone else does not preclude the possibility of pre-delivery inspection catching one or two occurrences prior to...

Thank you for your reply Steve, But I was looking at relation between the gear ratios and torque/range. For example, what dictates the "Higher current = higher torque" if the batteries voltage/motor specifications are the same or similar so will be the current i.e. torque? Yet GM lowers the...

Sorry about you having a poor experience at the dealership :( I am just referring to an advertised special here, hope it shows ok http://www.chevrolet.com/current-deals.html?x-zipcode=92101

Hi, I am considering leasing the Spark LT1 with DC charging plug. I think I have seeing it referred to as a "Franken-plug" Was wondering if someone was able to get the $199 with $995 down plus tax - beat, if yes by how much and how? :) I also noticed that my local dealer has all bunch of...

Thanks, the lease price takes over the ride I guess :)

I suspect a lot cheaper since it's built in-house compare to contracting out the battery, in addition to similarities to the Volt battery someone already mentioned here. Too bad, but the price is forcing me to go with "compliance" vehicle.

I know one thing, in exact science like math and physics there is no such thing as miracles :) So I am looking at the C&D comparison of EVs http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/final-scoring-performance-data-and-complete-specs-page-8 Spark has the untouchable by other in comparison torque...

Thank you Bryce for your research on this!

a. Sorry to hear the Sparky is not behaving... b. The fact that they could not securely reconnect the 12V battery hints at the possibility that negative was not tightly installed to begin with and that would perfectly explain the burning smell, at least to a certain extend. Those connections...
