It still Sparkles after eight years of life

My 2016 Spark EV came to me in 2020 off lease with 15,700 miles on the odometer and now has 47,000 so I drive about 600 miles a month. Changed all four tires at 43,000 -- the front ones were worn out and the rears were dry rotting and cracked but still had tread. Had to replace one tire pressure sender and probably three sets of wiper blades. In average driving it charges up to around 80 miles and hits reserve around 20, so good for 60 miles between charges. The electric compass has stopped working and after two years with me the stock charger interface unit failed (bought a new Chinese unit online) but everything else is fine. The car is tinny and cheap, but so is the cost of ownership! I charge at home with the Level 1 unit on 120 volts at 8 amperes, and I think the slow charges help prolong the battery life. I concur with others that it is peppy and fun to drive. I hope to keep it for a long time. By the way, I paid about $3,000 more than today's Edmunds estimated value, so that's under a thousand bucks a year depreciation!

love it it has a great pick up really good for around-town car, have not stopped at a gas station since I brought it home. Just plug it in with the level 1 cord and it's ready to go in the morning.

2015 Chevy Spark EV 2LT

First off, I am not a "greenie". I think the height of arrogance is to think we as humans can do much of anything about a planet that has gone through heating and cooling cycles long before we got here. That said I didn't buy my Spark EV because it's electric. I bought because it is just plain fun! It is 7 years old now, and it has lost 1/3 of it's range for summer (full charge is 60 miles) Winter loses another 10 miles. I don't care, it's my around town errand toy.
