Honestly i heard that southern accent and was skeptical at first, but i really enjoyed this video. It has been a long time since i've sat and watch a half hour long RUclips video all the way through. Thanks for the video
Thanx for sticking with it. I've gotten so many comments about my accent. Some people love it. Some hate it. Some are just freaking nasty about it which tells a lot more about them than me. I appreciate the comments. Thanx
This 63yr old owns a 2015 Spark 2LT EV in lime green and I have a few physical problems from when I broke my left shin and dislocated both hips and the knees in 2002, so yeah I hear ya. Right now the car has 46 miles of range, maybe when it's warmer I'll have as much as yours does. Good luck! And that was a very good video.
OMG! Thank you! I was so entertained with your voice and jokes about your leg! My dad has a wooden leg also...I think you did very well with this video. thank you for no background music!
I hate background music. I hate the free music you tubers can use. It's so irritating. I have done a few videos where I use actual real music here and there. When I do I check to see if that song can be used and many times it can if I am willing to give up my You Tube earnings for that video to the copyright holder. Duh! I don't get any earnings so fine with me.
I own a couple Teslas and was looking at a Spark for my teenage son's first car and came across your video. Didn't think I would watch the whole thing but your personality got me hooked haha!! Very funny and you touched on a lot of things that comes with owning an EV. Great video!
I love this video. Such an adventure. I used to own a volt and would charge whenever I could I still would love a small ev. I drive a Tesla Model S. And I am spoiled. When it throttles back from 90kw to 48kw because my car have 100,000 miles. I should not complain.
Just wanted to add a little tip. In most electric vehicles, as long as the charger can deliver more power than the car can accept. Running accessories like heat and air conditioning should not slow down the charging speed. That charger can do 150 kW that spark EV cannot accept more than probably 50 kW. I'm not sure whether the car shows you what the inbound kilowatt is I think it does. But you could certainly test it. Look at what it's giving you turn on the heat full blast and see if the number changes. There's no reason to sit there cold while you're hooked up to a charger in most cases. Cool little car, there are more and more electrify America stations going in all the time they're up to 554 locations across the US. I believe they're going to be adding 300 more this year. Also if you find that one of these stations is something you would use regularly, it's worth getting the membership plan with electrified America. It's $4 a month. But you wave the $1 connect fee and it gives you it $0.15 per minute instead of 21. So if you use it a lot it's definitely worth it.
We have a 2021 Chevy Spark Active. I also like the Spark EV (model year prior). Hope manufacturers reintroduce mini EVs like the 20014 to 2016 Chevy Spark EV.
I would love if they'd make some short range compact EV's. I don't mean short range as in 80 miles the Spark EV had. I mean low hundreds. Maybe 110-130 miles. If they could sell them in the low to mid 20's that could be a great deal.
Great video! You are really committed to EVs! I will remember you the next time I complain about some small issue with a charger or any other slightly inconvenient thing in my life. I am a city boy born and raised in NY but I have been to Arkansas many times and the people there are the best.
Thank you. When things in my life are not going that good I try to think of the good things. For instance, I had to have a minor outpatient surgery a few years ago and had to see the surgeon in his office a week or so prior to it. I waited in the waiting room 3 hours plus after my appointment time. Everyone was pissed except me. I did not like it but was not mad because I kept thinking that people 200 years ago would've gladly waited in that office 3 weeks to see a modern day surgeon and I should thank God above I was born in the modern age of medicine. I was a little agitated but more grateful than anything.
I need one of those to drive back and forth from Nashville to Paragould. Bet I could turn that 4.5 hour trip into a weekend vacation. Guess if that was all I had I’d just have to rent a vehicle for trips. Hey, I enjoyed your truncated video. Informative and entertaining! Keep up the posts.
Yeah I would not dare travel with the Spark EV but it was either do this or pay a company to deliver it. Looking back on it if I had to do it again I'd at least look into how much it'd cost to have it delivered.
Yes if you have the right charging station or cord to hook to them. Also, many campgrounds want to charge you a night's stay even if you are there just an hour. Others will charge accordingly.
Just purchased 2016 Chevy Spark EV. First impression pleasant to drive. Steady on the city roads but I will adjust the tires or get new tires because dealer put the pressure at 45 psi each time so that could cause a little bit of a hard ride. The car has 32,000 miles and after I charged to 100% it showed possible 80 mile range; I read that the gauges change based on your driving habits so I will give it a few more days on that issue. Range is at 70 (left gauge in middle numbers) after I charged it to full. I am trading in a 2013 Hyundai Accent SE with 23,000 miles. I did not get a good deal from the dealer but that APR will kill you if you don't have excellent credit. Car has a few dents but dealer I am sorry to say did not mention them nor did I see them until later. Your video tips are invaluable.
In 1988 or 89 I lived there a short time while I was managing the local Domino's Pizza. I never cared much for the town myself. It had some problems and I hear it's worse now but I never go there so I can't say for sure.
My Spark always said finalizing after 80% all good it charges fast and you can run the heat while charging you only loose about 3-5% but it's worth it to stay warm.
Jimmy my man....I'm so glad you went back to spark ev! I'm loving mine, bought solely because you convinced me. Looking forward to lot more videos... congratulations..!!!
@@balkantvofficialbackup Not at all. I work about 13 miles away and charge it every other day. I easily get over 90 in warm weather and around 60-70 when its cold here on east coast.
Glad you found a charger.when i saw that 1 mile flashing i was getting nervous .I own a 2015 chevy spark but idnt have the quick charger on mine. I know the feeling when that light flashes .
This is the problem. With a gas car anyone can bring you a gallon of gas. But with an ev they need to figure out a way to give you like five miles of range with a portable battery or something.
I'm not missing the Volt yet because that did not work out with Carvana. Now, I have both vehicles. Yes, I would miss the Volt but would not miss that $267 payment each month.
@@ArkansasEV u should have kept the volt and stick to the payments and when its paid the bolt would get muchhhh cheaper and get the bolt in couple years brother also i wish u all the best with the spark but trust me you will miss the vold range anxiety and freezing in the winter battery range will have u change ur mind all the best
personally i would charge to 90% or above when going on trips... if i had this car it would be perfect if i can charge at home and just drive to work and back home only. great commuter car.
I ran into a sweet deal on a 2014 on Carvana. I'm more than 50 miles from DT Dallas there is a charging station halfway. Do you think it would be good to do say DoorDash in?
I just purchased a 2014 Chevy spark gas version, I paid only 2500, in my opinion I don’t see a use for the EV, just because I travel max 100 Miles a day sometimes.
The 16 would have as much as 24 more months on the warranty. The 14 is a different battery but from what I understand there are no major issues with either. Also, the 14 has 400 ft. pounds of torque and the 16 is.....I think around 320 but that might not be right. It's close though. The software cut it back in 15 from what I understand. I am a big fan of the leather wrapped steering wheel in the Spark EV so I'd rather have the LT2 but just because of that. That and fake leather seats I think is all you get on the LT2 that's not on the LT1.
Some did not like it. One person had this video taken down because they were so offended by it. I filed an appeal and it was reinstated. I have a video about that situation already edited and will probably put it up Monday or Tuesday. I talk about it and how if you are offended you should be thankful because it means you are free.
I just purchased this car and i gotta travel to work 30miles back & forth everyday how much u think I’m have full up every week?? And how much do they charge you to fill up at the destination??
I can't fill up at the destination because there is no place to charge anywhere I go. I have to make sure I can get home on the juice it has. If you mean you travel 30 miles round trip then don't worry about it. Even in winter this car will easily make it unless something is wrong with it. If you mean 30 miles each way then it'll easily make it in summer and probably not in winter with heat on a comfortable level. If you are willing to be cold in winter it might. I say might. Batteries don't perform as well in winter.
You should be charging the car every night at home, and it shouldn’t cost much about a few bucks a day on your energy bill. How much it’ll cost to use a pay charger depends on the type of charger and the area you live in (laws are different state to state). Where I live, level 2 chargers are charged per kilowatt hour, and it’s around 40 cents here so to go from an empty battery to 100% is about $7.60. Level 3 “fast charging” is charged per session here , and it’s usually about 10 bucks unless you have a membership with a specific charge station network.
$10 for two hours of charging is terrible, and the gas version, that would give you more than a half a tank of gas, and that’s about 170 to 200 miles range, but I still think EV’s are cool
True but what you may not have thought of is level 3 charging, very fast charging, is something most do rarely and only while traveling. It's more expensive than gas most times but it's just a price you pay for driving over 70 miles or so. These cars are not meant for road trips. They are meant for a single purpose of traveling less than 80 miles in good weather....60 in bad before you arrive home again. They are great for the average commute to work or running around town or even the next town or two over. They suck if the intention is driving long trips with them. Almost every owner does almost all of their charging at home. In N.E. Arkansas I can get 80 miles of juice for roughly $1.30 which is cheap even with low gas prices. It'd incredibly cheap if gas gets expensive.
Now the challenge is being able to get one of these cars as cheap as I can as I’m poor as hell on SSI disability of less than 800 bucks a month income. So yeah… My chances of saving money or getting a bank loan to own a Chevy Ev is like the range issues of getting farther and energy saving of the Ev lol.
Geeez, you must've either gotten disabled at a very young age or made very little money or both. The way I understand it is SSDI takes your top 35 earning years and does something with it. They average it and then it goes into some type of formula. If you don't have 35 earning years then you get zero's for the missing years. I got disabled at 37 so I only paid into SSI 19 years so I had 16 zero's. That hurt a lot and why I tell folks "if you are gonna get disabled wait till you are at least 45 or 50 so you'll get more money." Still, I get a whole lot more than you do but not nearly as much as many. This is also why children who are born disabled really are in for a rough time because they will have 35 zero's in the formula meaning they get the minimum for the rest of their lives. I'm thinking about $700 but I can't remember for sure. That's so sad. If you are able you can work part time. I work 10-15 hours a week and it really helps. It gives me something to do plus helps us financially.
That would add a lot of weight and I imagine it would probably smell up the car but not sure about that. For me, if I can't make it then I won't attempt it but of course plans don't always work the way you draw them up. In this case, I had to get the car home but looking back I probably should've hired a company to haul it home for me.
The main reason is because I'm poor. I simply can't afford the Volt. I mean, I'm not missing payments but I'm trying to put more into my IRA and this is gonna free up over $5,000 in debt. I have to pay almost $1,000 out of pocket up front but will go from $12,800 in car debt to $7,250
J McPhink I just bought a 2018 Chevy bolt with 238 mile range I have a fast charger but there’s no fast chargers in my area the nearest one is like 50 miles but I charge at home with 220 you should charge that EV spark with the 220at your house it’ll be way way easier good luck with your car I’m glad you have the comments on love your videos you’re lots of fun to watch❤️
@@techontesla5284 I have a 220 at the house. I had it installed a few months ago and it's a lot faster than a 110 for sure. I'd love to have a Bolt. It's only a matter of time till I have a long range EV but since I'm determined to eliminate debt and at some point never have a car payment again then it's probably gonna be a while.
I have no idea. That was too long ago to remember. I do know level 3 charging is not cheap. It's more for convenience when traveling over being economical. I doubt it cost any more than gas would have but certainly much, much higher than level 2 chargers or level 1 at my house.
Honestly i heard that southern accent and was skeptical at first, but i really enjoyed this video. It has been a long time since i've sat and watch a half hour long RUclips video all the way through. Thanks for the video

Can you put gas in it or it’s just electric
so how long did a normally 2.5 hr trip actually take you?

In this case, I had to get the car home but looking back I probably should've hired a company to haul it home for me.

Wynne AR Bull Motors has a Lvl 2
It's broken from what I hear. So is the one in Searcy, my other route which was actually shorter.
… with my sweety 😊
Why did you go back to spark ev?
The main reason is because I'm poor. I simply can't afford the Volt. I mean, I'm not missing payments but I'm trying to put more into my IRA and this is gonna free up over $5,000 in debt. I have to pay almost $1,000 out of pocket up front but will go from $12,800 in car debt to $7,250
Plus, the Spark EV is so much fun to drive. The Volt is very practical but it's not as much fun as the Spark EV but it was mainly to save money.
J McPhink I just bought a 2018 Chevy bolt with 238 mile range I have a fast charger but there’s no fast chargers in my area the nearest one is like 50 miles but I charge at home with 220 you should charge that EV spark with the 220at your house it’ll be way way easier good luck with your car I’m glad you have the comments on love your videos you’re lots of fun to watch❤️
@@techontesla5284 I have a 220 at the house. I had it installed a few months ago and it's a lot faster than a 110 for sure. I'd love to have a Bolt. It's only a matter of time till I have a long range EV but since I'm determined to eliminate debt and at some point never have a car payment again then it's probably gonna be a while.
Terrible ending.
Bill Clinton would be proud. 😂
Could be icy, hop on ice you will fall.
I don't hop on ice. I don't drive when ice is on parking lots because I can't get to my chair in the back without hoping.
how much did that charge cost u at walmart?
I have no idea. That was too long ago to remember. I do know level 3 charging is not cheap. It's more for convenience when traveling over being economical. I doubt it cost any more than gas would have but certainly much, much higher than level 2 chargers or level 1 at my house.
