Chevrolet Spark EV – First details of the new electric car

With electric cars , the sack has been torn in the last week, especially with the small ones. After the Fiat 500e , its competitor from the Chevrolet stable – the Spark EV – appeared. The electric car battle will then break out on the LA show floor at the end of this month!

In terms of design, the electric Spark doesn't differ that much from its "normal" sibling. Although Chevrolet has not yet shown the final form of its design, but only some hints in the form of camouflaged or "incomplete" cars. Nevertheless, it can be noticed that the only significant difference will be the slightly modified front part. Perhaps only the scheme of alarm clocks will change in the interior.

The car drive is definitely more interesting. It provides an electric motor with a power of 136 hp and a torque of 542 Nm. 100 km/h attacks Spark in a decent 8 seconds. A 20kWh lithium-ion battery pack gives the Spark some range 80 km and the batteries are charged to 80% capacity from the fast charging station in about 20 minutes. However, if you want to charge the battery to 100% capacity and you only have a 240V socket , prepare at least 7 hours of free time
