Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh (2013-2014) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 104 kW (139 hp) of power and 400 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.9 seconds (ranked №481 out of 693 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 90 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh (2013-2014) achieves a real-world range of 68–84 miles, placing it at №668 among 693 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

In the USA Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh (2013-2014) has a CCS Type 1 charge port.

  • You can charge it at home using a standard domestic socket or plug into any public AC charging station using the right cable.
