I have the PowerMax and it only charges our Volt and Spark EV at 16A. Having the 30A is just piece of mind that the EVSE has more ability than what I use it for and can charge faster on our future EV's.

I just asked the salesman that I bought my Spark EV from in San Jose and he said they had sold about 25 of them and GM can't supply them fast enough to keep up with the sales.

Well first off, the photos are wrong because they who two large ones on the rear passenger side but DMV instructions say to put the big ones on right and left back of the car a the ottos one facing rear. I wrapped my large stickers around the corners of he back bumper and put the small one near...

Bummer news but thanks for confirming the difference. Pictures helped a ton.

If you buy in CA, you are covered over GM warranty at 10 years and 150k miles so it may actually retain more value for resale if we decide to trade our Spark EV in for the latest tech in 5 or so years.

Welcome to the cold weather. I have had my Volt 18 months now and when it gets colder regardless of running my heater, my range drops from 45 to 35 miles per charge, so I fully expect that with our Spark EV as well. Just plan for shorter ranges and top off when you can.

We got ours 7 weeks after our purchase. Nice!

We drive in L 100% of the time and learned to just back off the "go" peddle a bit to scrub some speed instead of using the brakes.

You are not alone. I thought if the Feds and State wand willing to pay 1/3 the cost of my car, I couldn't pass it up. We love our Spark EV and already have 1800 miles on it in 2 months. The $500 off the Bosch charger was also a great incentive.

For my 3 long trips over 75 miles, I drove on freeway no faster than 70 mph.

FYI Bosch does not require you to have it installed by them if you order with the rebate. You can pay for the difference in shipping and tax and do a self install like I did. You may as well order it and sell it cheap to a friend or on eBay at this point if you don't plan to use the rebate to...

PG&E has a calculator on the website that can help you decide whether its beneficial to switch, but if you hardly do any charging at home it may not be worth it if someone is at home during peak hours running the AC & heater.

Yeah, at the summit on the way there it was about 53 and on the way back at the summit was about 26.

Even if the LEAF has different gearing, the Spark accellerates 0-60 way faster. I know the LEAF has raced a Volt on numerous occasions and the Volt always won. Having both a Volt and Spark EV, the Spark is definitely a second faster.

Here is my response when I emailed Chevy about this: Dear Joshua, Thank you for contacting the Chevrolet Volt and Spark Advisor Team. We always love to hear from owners and appreciate the opportunity to assist you. As stated in your email, the my.chevrolet.com website is not set up like...

Yup we drive from Campbell on hwy 17 and up and over (using L on way down) and made it to hwy 1 in Santa Cruz with estimated 70 miles remaining. We then drove up the coast about 7 miles to Davenport and got there with 63 miles left. After a days at the beach, we headed back over 17 and hit some...

So I put the CA HOV stickers on today and spent a lot of time figuring out how to lay them out since the area behind the tires is so small. I ended up wrapping the large ones around the corners a bit and then plates the small one on the lower back right area down low. I thought about putting...

Bought the car 7/28, got plates 2 weeks later and just got the stickers today 9/7.

I got our Power Max 30A/18ft cord in the mail today and installed it myself with no issues. Super easy wall mount and charge cord and holster is good quality.

We got the plates in 2 weeks and from experience with our Volt, it took 3 weeks to get the stickers. Our Spark EV stickers should be here any day now.
