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.
