Just buy another electric car
Ah yes. GM doing what GM has done throughout its history. Hey, maybe they can resurrect the Chevy Vega, or any other one of their models that used to rust while sitting in your garage.
...at least the owners helped ‘save the Erf’...
Suckers all. I’d abandon the vehicle in front of one of Obama’s homes or his up and coming presidential library. A fitting sculpture to the biggest conman president in our history.
oh noes!
Also means the Dealer won’t service them.
more proof the reason manufacturers are doing evs so hard, they want an apple level purchase cycle.
Some other freeper swears its all other reasons but this.
a car less then a decade old will be inoperable, unless some 3rd party makes a replacement. good luck finding a mechanic willing to do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t.
I wonder the difference between the gasoline cost and the electric cost.
Ping.
I have a 2017 Chevy Spark______Gasoline powered...
The Spark EV started life with a battery pack provided by China’s A123 Systems
A123? What could possibly go wrong?
After debuting the Chevrolet Spark EV in 2012, the tiny electric tyke most known for a snazzy Lime color option went on sale four just three years, from 2013 to 2016. In that time, GM sold roughly 7,400 units, mostly in states with zero emissions vehicle mandates like California.
We have 3 families with several drivers in 3 different N. California locations.
For a while we had a family award for anyone who took a pic of a Spark EV being driven in their area.
We gave up after a couple of years with zero sightings!
Car Gurus has listings this morning for a bunch used Sparks with about 50,000 miles, for about $15,000.
Let the buyer beware!

Cash only. No checks, please.
Surplus Center has a nice little Subaru 14hp for $300 that would probably work
Just put a mower deck under it and you're good to go.
A 1200cc motorcycle engine would be better if you want to drive it on the road.
Looks like a potential project for one of those trikes with two wheels up front and one in the back.

Long live the Hemi
Why do business with Chevy if they play this way? Bad car AND no replacement batteries made. This is dirty business.
LOL! It’s the iPod/iPhone of automobiles. - “Battery dead? Enjoy your brick.”
I saw a news segment of some location in China where there were thousands of old EV batteries in piles. The company was supposed to be recycling them, but the piece was on how impossible that was as each battery was a different design. Not only was it difficult to take the main assembly apart, but the cells themselves could burst into flames if they weren’t handled perfectly and each manufacturer built them differently. This recycling company had become a dumping ground for old batteries that were filled with toxic chemicals that could burst into flames under a wide variety of circumstances.
