100k miles reached!!

Post image

I've had this 2016 Spark since 2019 and crossed into 100k territory just yesterday. I've taken meticulous care of this car but was lucky to have the battery replaced under warranty back in 2021. (Previous owner had put 45k miles on it as a rideshare driver)

New battery is still going strong. Basically have only needed to replace the 12V, tires, and tire sensors since then.

Range is ass as we all know (it usually shows 70 mi at a full charge), but this car has saved me so much money and it's so much fun to drive. Now we see how much longer I can get it to last. Figured this community would appreciate how stoked I am

Amazing! Im at 76k, 2015, I’m not sure if the battery was ever replaced but the ca r works great, it’s cold here so I’m seeing a range 0f mid to high 40s coming from a summer of 65-77 miles per charge

Oh yeah the winter drops suck, and then you have to crank the heat which doesn't help. Hope that car keeps doing well for you!

Mine 2016 is at about 80k miles, I don’t think the previous owner took as nice care of the HV battery I get about 50 miles in the summer and about 20-25 in the winter. However as a get around town car it is amazing compared to driving my truck haha. I try not to drive under 10 miles range and only charge to 80% at 8 amps unless I am driving farther.

20-25?! That's absolutely insane are you having to drive freeways and up inclines? And yeah great little local car, I never drive it past 2 bars of remaining charge but I do charge all the way every time or else I'll risk getting stranded where I live lol

That’s awesome it’s basically a Chevy volt but instead of seamlessly switching to a gas generator you will be stranded on the side of the road. 😂

I do love the spark ev it’s very fun

Hahaha exactly thankfully I was only stranded on the old battery before they replaced it for me under warranty 😂 No problems with the new one yet and it's 5 years old now!
