I’m having an issue with the drive battery on my 2015 Chevy Spark EV with 16,736 miles. On May 12, I had charged it like I always do using my Clipper Creek 240v charger and it showed 72 miles available. I drove it a few miles and stopped and it showed 61 miles. Then I drove a few more miles and stopped, and it showed 45 miles. It took it home and tried to charge it again and it wouldn’t charge over 52 miles but the display said it was fully charged. To rule out a problem with the 240v charger, I tried using the 120v charger that comes with the car and it still won’t charge over 52 miles. I tested the 12 volt battery and it is showing fully charged at 13.5 volts.
This has never happened before and I don’t know if the drive motor battery is failing or if this is a software glitch. I hesitate to drive it because I’m afraid it might fail completely and leave me stranded. I feel like the car could use a “reboot” (using computer terms).
Any thoughts on what I can try before taking it to the dealer?
Thank you
Jerry
