“My 2014 Spark EV has been the best vehicle I have ever owned, 400ft lb of torque makes it crazy quick, plugs into my 120 outlet while I sleep...usually see $5 to $8 a month extra on electric.”

About the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV
Spark EV only generation (2014-2016), first year; based on the first-generation U.S. Spark hatchback.
Chevrolet positions the Spark EV as a fun, city-sized electric hatchback rather than a stripped-down eco special. The pitch is simple: easy parking, quick low-speed acceleration, strong efficiency, and enough everyday tech to feel modern. For most buyers, it is a four-seat urban commuter with real hatchback usefulness and punchy electric response, designed for short daily driving and home charging rather than long highway travel.
The 2014 Spark EV is a small city hatchback focused on easy parking, quick electric response, and useful everyday equipment. Both trims have heated front seats, automatic climate control, a 7-inch touchscreen, and a 7-inch digital driver display. The 2LT keeps the same powertrain and range as the 1LT but adds synthetic leather upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
