Overview

The Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017) is an all-electric front-wheel drive hatchback. It came out in 2015 replacing the older Chevrolet Spark EV 21 kWh (2013-2014). Chevrolet stopped making the 19 kWh in 2017. You can still find Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017) on the used car market, with prices starting around $6,990.

The Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017) has a 19 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 78 mi on a single charge — ranked №803 out of 824 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 105 kW (140 hp) of power and 327 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.2 seconds (№55 out of 116 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 90 mph.

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

The estimated real-world range for Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017) is 78 miles, ranking it №238 out of 251 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

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

The Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 3.3 kW, which translates to roughly 13 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 50 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017) comes in the following dimensions:

Length: 146.5 in
Width: in (including side mirrors) or 64 in (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 62.6 in
Wheelbase: 93.5 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 2866 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)

How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Chevrolet Spark EV 19 kWh (2015-2017), you'll find 9.6 cubic feet of storage space (№134 out of 155 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).
