I charge at home L2 and at work L1. I have used the lone charging slot at the Towne Square Mall. I have used one of the two chargers at the Discovery Center in Boise. The public chargers are free at this time. That is how early we are here in EV infrastructure. I didn’t even consider getting a...

Wow, Meridian! Small world. I commute from Nampa, west of Meridian to Boise, east of Meridian. I park in a warm garage (55-60F) and pre-heat while still plugged in. I run fewer miles per kw in the morning commute than the PM. I have not run in winter yet. Car should be back from the body shop...

The day I had the update performed at the dealership I fully charged at home because for the first few minutes the Battery charge indicator showed three bars remaining. That day I had 100 miles showing. It was the highest I had ever seen. 80 ish is pretty consistent. I have snow tires on right...

My 2014 runs about 16.5. Pretty consistent. I was hoping for more but as long as it is stable I should be OK

Had mine done Veterans Day weekend. No drama to report.

Spoke to the owner of the carrier. He is paying for the entire repair to keep his insurance out of it. I still don’t have my car yet. Holiday is no doubt slowing work and shipping. I want my Spark back. If for no other reason, it is the only car in my humble fleet sporting new snow tires.

I was wondering if there had been a traction battery failure or warranty claim for degradation. One would expect a Google search to show at least a lemon or manufacturer failure of some kind. The lack of any such story is very encouraging. My battery seems a little on the low side but it will...

If you spend anytime on the Leaf forum you will find several stories of degraded batteries on the Nissan product. I have to ask, has anyone had a warranty battery replacement on the Spark EV? I searched Google and came up empty. In fact, Shark Ev reliability seems quite high.

It was (is) a political topic. I have no problem with differing points of view on the tax incentive. I would not have voted for it but I love the Spark EV it gave me! Lemonade out of lemons!

Way to go Nissan! You ruined Black!!!

I mostly agree. But if you listen to the other side you will end up agreeing on a host of things. I find it interesting how my friends on the other side of the political spectrum put so much faith in a government that has a abysmal track record. There is a balance required to this civilization...

I can't tell you how much I wish I could equip my personal fleet with Spark EVs. We make two or three trips a year requiring ICE range. I would be prepared to rent a vehicle for those runs or borrow from family for that matter. Electric is just so posh. I almost don't love my VW Vanagon anymore...

I enjoy hearing different points of view. How else can one be objective? The best solutions can come from the extremes or from compromise.

Hey, don’t refuse any allies you can get. I preach contentment and efficiency to country boys who grow up dreaming of commuting to work in 7000 pound diesel pickups, not because there isn’t a need for diesel pickups but because that is a huge waste and financial drain just to haul your keister...

Yes, you will be limited to the capacity of the Spark’s converter for total draw. Off the top of my head I don’t know what that limit is.

My children have participated twice in a solar go kart race held in May each year. I’ll keep you informed about this yesr’s effort. They took first place last year. www.gsrinc.org

Norton, I gotta ask, from what you have read about home schooling? In the name of balanced investigation, how many differing inputs do you have on the subject? Early on my relatives thought my parents were freaks, then they thought they were lucky we turned out “normal”. Then they shut up when...

I am very conservative in my believes, but I am difficult to classify. If a state wants to legalize recreational drugs, I don’t have a problem with it. If a state wishes to prohibit the same, I likewise have no problem with that. People will live where they are comfortable and few have their...
