If I were you, I'd sell your Spark NOW. I just sold mine to Driveway for $11,127. Carvana is now offering $8500. They offered $10,500 just a month ago. The Spark's value is tanking. Luckily, I got a Bolt EV just today. I ordered it in December and I just completed my paperwork and took delivery...

That's crazy. I have a 2LT 2015 with 36,000 miles on it and they offered me 10,500 for it. hhmmm Does yours have less mileage?

Thanks for the update. I always wondered about this. I imagine it's a bit cumbersome but it seems like a good thing to test. I also would recommend making sure to have an inverter for anything sensitive, especially for long use times. But, interesting none-the-less.

Congrats. I've had mine for about a month now and I love it. As another person her recommended to me, just drive it and enjoy it. I personally charge when it drops to 20%, but I only drive mine around my town in the foothills. I only charge, on average, once every 3 days.

I've had similar issue. I went to my phone and went to bluetooth and clicked the car to pair to and then it worked fine. Haven't had an issue since.

Dang. Are you always on flat land? I'm in the foothills, I'm averaging between 4-5.5.

I've actually watched both yours and Josh's videos multiple time. I really appreciate that someone's out there giving us some info. Question, though. What brand/model did you get for both from and back? I see the Pyle, but which model specifically? Thanks!

Good info. I only drive in L because I'm already used to driving a stick. That's how I drove a stick anyway. Drop the gear, help the breaks. But, I don't have to do anything else fancy, just let my foot off the accelerator. I love it! I was thinking of getting an L2 EVSE, but I just don't...

Yeah, I'm using the departure time as well. I also set it to start charging at 11pm during "off peak" hours. Question, which Level 2 charger did you get and was it worth it? So far, I've found I haven't really had a need for it? But, I'm starting to wonder if I should because of the charging...

Good points. I'll most likely end up getting a few sets of good quality speakers and possibly put in a little 100-200 watt amp to boost the power. I'll also probably get one of the little subs that fit under the seat. Anyone know if the stereo runs off the 12v battery or the EV batteries?

I'm feelin' more of what you're saying. My personality is really a person that likes to know everything about something and then test the limits of it. I actually enjoy grinding for levels in video games while others like to get on with the story. I'm probably going to end up doing both. I'm...

Welcome from one new EV owner to another. I'm curious, what's your range? I'm in the foothills of California, east of Sacramento a ways. I average almost 5 miles/kwh so far. But, I've only had the car a little over a week now and I'm just finding the limits and whats not. It's also getting...

Man, reading through this I'm finding several different things. Ohms are important, but not really. Size of the speaker is important but not really. Just get as close to the original as possible and see how it goes. I've been looking at speakers since I've gotten the car a week or so ago but...

hhmm It's been difficult to find some of the specifications on this. I'd imagine GM wanting to keep this type of info proprietary. Thanks for the experience with yours. I ran a charge from 33% to 92% last night and I think I'll be ok with that. Just trying to figure out a good way of keeping the...

hhmm, I'm most likely going to try to top mine off around 85 percent most of the time and then once a month I'll top it off to 100%. My thinking is that putting it to 100% charge isn't likely happening due to the battery having the reserve space that the manufacturer specified since we're most...

Thanks for the tip. I just read an article on BMS (because I'd never heard the term before you mentioned it). I now have a greater understanding of how the batteries in an EV and the management system works. Here's the article if you're interested...

For sure! I drove around yesterday a total of about 14 miles and only had my bar drop to 87 percent charge and only saw my range increase again. I believe the last people that had this vehicle didn't drive it with efficiency in mind. Also, I will agree. I'm going to do my best to keep it on the...

Yeah, I think that's the plan. Not worried about the range much. Thankfully my commute (if you can call it that) is only 2.7 miles one way. So, I do come home for lunch so it's 10.8 miles a day.

haha, I won't. Thanks for the info. I think I'll be fine with the level 1 charger. There are several places within 3 miles of my house with level 2's that don't get used that often.

Hello all! I've been reading the forums for a couple of months as I tried to make a decision on turning in my Fiesta ST and whether or not the Chevy Spark EV would be a good choice for a replacement. I'm in a slightly unique situation as I was driving my Fiesta ST only 3000 miles a year for a...
