TECHNOLOGY
Be electric
The all-new 2014 Spark EV features a lithium-ion battery that offers gas- and emissions-free power and performance. This electric mini car utilizes some of the same cutting-edge electric power technology proven in the Chevrolet Volt, the best-selling rechargeable car of the year. Spark EV includes regenerative braking, which captures energy that would otherwise be lost while braking, decelerating or going downhill. It also offers liquid thermal conditioning, which maximizes its performance in extreme weather conditions. This guarantees the best performance from the battery and ensures its longevity. And the battery is backed by an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty†.
Get ready for takeoff
Spark EV features an innovative electric propulsion system drive unit paired with the lithium-ion battery. This mini car has big bite and boasts instant torque. The connection is direct: head, right foot, power, pavement. Without the traditional transmission, torque has nowhere to go except to the tires and road. This helps explain why Spark EV feels so powerful and exhilarating while also achieving 0 to 60 mph in under eight seconds. Tuned specifically for its electric propulsion system, Spark EV puts power in all the right places at the moment it’s needed for a sporty and responsive ride. And Spark EV features a turning radius of 32.6 feet, which beats out the Mini Cooper, so parallel parking in the city is seamless and simple.
Charge it up
Charging is easy peasy in the 2014 Spark EV. Just plug Spark EV into a standard household 120V outlet†, or for a faster charge, opt for the available 240V dedicated charging system that charges up the battery in just seven hours. Have it installed wherever you park your Spark EV so you can charge at night and be good to go by morning. Professional installation is required, so visit SPX Service Solutions for more information. And Spark EV will offer an available out-of-home charging option†. Get charged up by the first SAE combo DC fast-charging stations that will charge the battery to 80 percent in just 20 minutes. The future of electric charging stations is coming in late Summer 2013, and Spark EV is ready.
Instant feedback
Spark EV gives you instant digital feedback through a 7-inch diagonal high-resolution, full-color, configurable LCD screen in the Driver Information Center to help you get the most out of every kilowatt. Keep an eye on battery charge and how energy is being used and created. Get an accurate picture of your estimated range based on your personal driving style. You can even enhance efficiency and have a ball doing it with the Efficiency Gauge. One of the greatest factors in getting the most out of each charge is driving style, so simply keep the green ball in the center of the gauge and enjoy optimal battery efficiency.
INTERIOR
Spacious and stylish
The interior balances a flowing, spacious design with a get-up-and-go spirit. Features like bright electric blue color accents, chrome and available leatherette mix with a sporty cockpit vibe complete with a motorcycle-inspired instrument cluster. And with 86.3 cubic feet of passenger space, the Spark EV offers more room for comfort than both the Ford Fiesta and Fiat 500. Seat four comfortably or cart your stuff around. Fold down the rear seat and have a full 23.4 cubic feet† of storage space for almost anything you need to bring with you like groceries, camping gear or golf clubs.
Quiet inside and out
Because it’s electric, Spark EV is surprisingly quiet on the outside, but due to the interior’s extensive refinement along with sealing and insulation, it’s shockingly quiet on the inside too. This keen attention to detail went into every inch of the Spark EV interior helping to create a comfortable and enjoyable ride. Get in and leave the city noise behind.
Be mobile while you’re mobile
Chevrolet Mylink† gives you access to your favorite music, media and mobile apps as well as information about electric power while you’re on the go. Turn Spark EV into an extension of your smartphone by simply connecting to the high-resolution, standard 7-inch color touch-screen radio through Bluetooth® wireless technology† or the USB port†. And with a standard three years of OnStar®, you’ll have access to your Spark EV from anywhere with your OnStar® RemoteLink† app. Check battery level, efficiency statistics and more on your smartphone. Access your contacts, playlists or mobile apps like Pandora®, Stitcher SmartRadio™ and TuneIn through the color touch-screen radio. You can even complete a variety of hands-free tasks with Siri Eyes Free†.
EXTERIOR
Go with the flow
Similar to the Chevrolet Volt, Spark EV features a prominent closed upper grille and an automatic shutter system to reduce drag and guide airflow around the vehicle. Full-length underbody panels help reduce drag while wheel deflectors and an integrated rear spoiler carry airflow around and away from the car. Its lean, muscular design put to work aerodynamically and, in the end, helps Spark EV splice through the air with the greatest of ease.
Aggressively stylish
Global collaboration between designers and engineers resulted in a mini car with a fiercely dramatic exterior design. Its grounded, confident stance gives Spark EV an energetic and confident appearance while accentuated headlamps and 15-inch wheels set it apart. Hidden rear door handles create a seamless look carried by dynamic lines across the body to the rear spoiler. Choose from five sleek exterior colors: Summit White, Silver Ice, Electric Blue, Titanium and Black Granite (an extra-cost color). City street beautification begins with Spark EV.
SAFETY
Our top priority: you
At Chevrolet, the safety of drivers and their passengers is a top priority. That’s why every Spark EV comes with technology that helps you stay in control, like the StabiliTrak®Electronic Stability Control System, which helps you stay on track on slippery surfaces. There’s even Hill Start Assist that helps with those steep inclines by holding the vehicle in place for a second after the brake is released to help you keep moving forward.
In the event of a collision, safety features like 10 standard air bags† help protect you and your passengers. Crucial information can be instantly relayed to the OnStar®Command Center via the OnStar Automatic Crash Response system†. At the Command Center, trained Advisors utilize GPS technology to pinpoint your exact location and can request that help be sent right away – even if you’re unable to respond. As all of this is happening, they’re in constant contact, reassuring you and updating you on the status of the situation. It’s part of OnStar Directions & Connections® Plan†, standard for the first three years on every Spark EV.
