    Bosch home charging station

    Hard to say regarding reliability since there isn't a ton of recorded history on them yet, but I've seen enough posts on the Volt forums that show a fair number of people have them die within 2 years.

    General Opinions From Owners Please

    My three longest trips on a single charge of 77, 78 and 79 were all at highway speeds, up a mountain ~1500 ft and back to our original destination. All had a range of about 9-15 estimated miles remaining. We have had our Spark EV since late July and have over 5500 miles on it and still love...

    Traction Control issue

    Yes I had very similar issues last week driving windy Bear Creek Road in Santa Cruz mountains. It was a little wet and the car was cutting power to he wheels on many corners while I was going relatively slow. I clicked traction control off and it still continued to flash traction light and...

    In-depth review by Alex on Autos

    We ended up going with the 1LT after the dealer wasn't able to get the 2LT in the right color and got aftermarket leather seats installed for only $400 more than the 2LT would have cost. Very happy with the custom color pattern so far.

    Horn honk when the key leaves the vehicle

    What's the average electricity bill after getting the Spark?

    You know, i bet switching to the term of use plan and running the pool pump on "off peak" will dramatically cut your power bill. You should look into it. I have the PG&E term of use plan for EV's and I only have one meter, but PG&E estimator page i save $400 per year on this plan compared to...

    So i pulled removed the right license plate light from the hatch to see what was behind and only found a single harness to the light. I was thinking of tapping into the power there, since many of the license plate mounted cameras work that way, but that style would NOT work, since it obstructs...
