Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh

The Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 104 kW (139.5 hp) of power and 400 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.9 seconds (ranked â„–362 out of 572 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 90 mph.

Real-world range of Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh

The estimated real-world range for Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh falls between 68–84 miles, ranking it №547 out of 572 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh charge port type?

The Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh in the USA comes with a CCS Type 1 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 3.3 kW, resulting in approximately 11 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 50 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use our Charging calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.
