I wasn't sure where to post this, so I decided to piggyback on this thread. I work for Daimler and we occassionally get some friends and family deals; this latest offer on the smart electric drive is too good to ignore! The smart ED doesn't have a DC fast charger, as much range as other cars...

Exactly? Well, hopefully starting at Portland State University at the Electric Avenue: http://www.sustainablebusinessoregon.com/articles/2013/08/new-ev-quick-charger-hits-oregon.html?page=all" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Everybody doesn't say frankenplug, only SAE Combo...

For those that might be following (or stumble into) this thread looking for information on the Spark EV DC fast charge info, it can now be ordered at your Chevy dealer. The specific option codes are published here...

Thanks for sharing test results Tony. I'm surprised with a trailer in tow you stopped with 4 miles displayed range remaining. Did you (or do you know of anybody who has) run it until it literally stopped to see what the response was? I'm thinking of my Leaf that shows "---" remaining range for...

This is GREAT news for me, despite the information contained in your four unrelated and useless comments! I was wondering if you'd be equally confused by my useless and unrelated comments as I was by your useless and unrelated comments. I am a weird dude, I won't argue that. Some of us are...

Bad news for you. 1) You dress poorly. 2) Money for nothing, and chicks for free. 3) I believe many things I read on the internet, but not all. 4) One of the members in D.O.A. is named Joey Shithead. Seriously, your points are unnecessary. The West Coast Electric Highway is awesome...

Great news! It's not official yet, but PSU continues to blaze trails in providing EV infrastructure. To Tony, with LOVE: http://www.sustainablebusinessoregon.com/articles/2013/08/new-ev-quick-charger-hits-oregon.html?page=all" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Bryce

Back on topic, I saw lots of fresh data in this recently: http://media.gm.com/content/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/spark-ev/2014.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This was an interesting feature I don't think I've seen on any other EVs yet... Anybody have any more details...

Tony, I think it's fair to say you've gone far beyond "don't like" and "hope it fails" with your stance on the Spark EV as well as the SAE Combo standard. For example, if you didn't like it, you would voice your opinion occassionally when it came up. You're way past "hope it fails" when you go...

Data, what a concept! Thank you for bringing some sense to the thread. I'm done responding to the useless ridicule and harassment, but hopefully there are others out there that would like to discuss actual facts about the car. Here are some very interesting plots that were recently published...

Again, do you have data to support your claims? Testing to date indicates 0-60 times in the Spark EV is about a second faster than the Leaf, which aligns with the power and weight specifications for both. Doesn't sound like deceptive marketing to me. Whether you actually have data or not, I...

As I said, I understand electric (and ICE) vehicles quite well. The battery does NOT dictate the power, the whole system has to work together, just like on an ICE vehicle. On an ICE vehicle, you can't just stuff a more powerful engine in...there's axles, clutches, transmissions, fuel system...

Actually, I have a very good understanding of EVs. Again, why are people in this thread so quick to bash others?!? Your logic doesn't compute, please help me understand what you mean. Why does a vehicle need to be heavier (due to battery weight...?) to be performance oriented? Are you...

Thank you for responding immediately to make it very clear that you are one of unnamed "few" that feel the need to ridicule people with different opinions. 1. Power vs. weight vs. cost. Note that cost is only part of this value story, power and weight are the other two. You reference the Leaf...

For those who don't understand why anybody could possibly want the Spark EV compare to others, here are my reasons: Performance for the price (power vs weight vs cost) DC fast charge Available for purchase (soon...where I live, to boot) This combination hasn't existed to date. I have a Leaf...
