About Chevrolet Spark EV

GENERAL

The Chevrolet Spark EV is a front-wheel-drive, four-passenger, five-door all-electric hatchback. The production version was unveiled at the November 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. Within the framework of GM's vehicle electrification strategy, the Spark EV was the first all-electric passenger car marketed by General Motors in the U.S. since the EV1 was discontinued in 1999. The Spark EV was discontinued in December 2016, when Chevrolet began selling the Bolt, which has a much longer range.

PERFOMANCE

The 2013 production version featured a 97 kW (130 hp) motor, providing 542 Nm (400 lb-ft) of torque.
For the 2015 model year, the drive ratio was changed from 3.17 to 3.87 as well, with torque reduced to 443 Nm (327 ft-lb).

BATTERY

The electric car was first powered by a 21.3 kWh Lithium iron phosphate battery pack supplied by A123 Systems.
For the 2015 model year, the battery pack supplier was changed to LG Chem which resulted in a smaller capacity pack (19 kWh) while maintaining the same range on one charge.

CHARGING

The Spark EV can be fast-charged to 80% of capacity in 20 minutes using an optional CCS/SAE Combo Type 1 connector, and charging time increases to about seven hours using a dedicated 240-volt charging station or about 17 hours using a standard household 120-volt outlet.

SAFETY

Standard safety features for the Chevrolet Spark EV include antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, rear-seat side airbags and front-seat knee airbags.

AUTOPILOT

The interior is minimalist at best, but there’s a refreshing simplicity to the dashboard’s clean lines, the unique instrument cluster and the large central touchscreen. The Spark EV’s gauges differ from the conventional Spark’s to better suit the data unique to electric propulsion. Simple graphics illustrate the battery pack’s state of charge and remaining driving range, for example.
