I just got my 2015 Spark EV LT2 but I need tires. So let me ask, now that it's been a while, do you still recommend the Kumho Solus TA31's? Compared with the stock tires, have they been better worse or the same regarding: range/mi/kWh? performance/acceleration/handling? wear/longevity? noise...

I know this is an old post, but if you see this, I have to ask, why not just back up your driveway? You won't need regenerative braking when backing up uphill. Gravity does it for you. Also, I'd like to point out that most people probably back up, oh, maybe a mile per year? At most, maybe a...

I guess you already took care of it, but what about WD40? I'd be careful with it, and wipe it off right away, but it seems from some googling, that it's safe for car paint.

Actually, they did. What you're looking for is exactly how the car works if you shift it into LOW instead of DRIVE. It's "one pedal" driving; releasing pressure on the accelerator engages the regenerative braking, even puts on the brake lights. Well, maybe not quite exactly but pretty close...

Has anyone seen a NEMA 14-30 male to NEMA 14-50 female combination extension cord / adapter all in one piece? I know I can buy the adapters and use a separate extension cord, but if possible, I'd rather have one 25 or 30 foot cord, all in one, more reliable. Yes, I also know I can just buy the...

Actually, it is possible. This has been discussed in several posts in this forum. This post in particular is from a shop that, I think, will do the conversion for you (for around $2000). They're in Canada. See: http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4868

Yes, good point. I guess you could have a smaller, secondary resistive heater, but still wouldn't address defog/heat at the same time. Actually, you touched on one of my pet peeves. Running the AC compressor and heat/defog at the same time is sometimes useful, but not always. It really bugs...

Hi everyone. New here and a new owner of a 2015 Spark EV LT2, which we love so far. I have so many questions, but for now, I'm trying to figure out the MyLink system, and how to add apps, presumably, to the "smartphone link" menu? A google search shows that there are "thousands of apps...

OK, this post is pretty old, but I thought I'd make a suggestion. Instead of charging immediately, or even setting a delayed charge, you can set the charge time to end at your expected departure time. But, set the planned departure time for a few hours later than your actual departure time...

In an EV, heat pumps probably save weight too. I imagine you'd use the same compressor, etc. as the AC, so no extra hardware for the heat.
