Electric Spark aims for best in class accelerationChevrolet has released more details of its electric Spark ahead of its unveiling at the LA motor show.
The Spark is a relative of the Vauxhall/Opel Agila, sold in North America, South Korea, India and Australia. GM will build the electric drivetrain in the US and retrofit it to the Korean-built Spark.
That drivetrain consists of 130hp motor that develops 400lb ft, and a 20KwH battery, which Chevrolet claims will give it the best acceleration and among the best range in its class. The car will be available with a fast-charge option, which enables the battery to be 80 per cent charged in 20 minutes.
On a 240v system the Spark fully charges in seven hours, although in the US this will require a dedicated charging point. And although Chevrolet is not confirming the Sparks range, its likely to be around 60 miles.
The cars aerodynamics have been tweaked with a new grille, redesigned sill covers and an active shutter system that closes and opens the lower air intakes to control air flow through the car. The modifications are said to add 2. 5 miles to the cars range.
The Spark EV goes on sale in the US next summer, and will be priced at $25,000 (15,550), after tax reductions and incentives from individual states. However, its not going on sale throughout North America – currently only California, Oregon and Canada will get the car, along with South Korea.
