The 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV is One of the Fastest Charging Electric Cars Yet!

Here at Cox Chevrolet in Bradenton we witness the progress in automotive innovation each and every year, and the technology in electric cars has been charging ahead at an incredible speed in the past few years. Once thought to be impractical, the reputation of the electric car will change forever with the new 2014 Chevy Spark EV. While most other electric cars need to be charged overnight, Chevy’s new Spark EV model can go from drained to an 80% charge in 20 minutes, making this little compact car even more viable in today’s market.

Stylish Electric Car for a Technology Driven World

The Chevy Spark EV uses electric car technology coming from one of the world’s best electric vehicles – the Chevy Volt.

The vehicle gives you instant feedback through the 7-inch LCD screen in the driver information center. Your estimated range is prominently displayed, and you can use the efficiency gauge to enhance your range. Keeping the green ball in the center of the gauge gives you optimal driving range.

The Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system accesses your favorite media and music, and you can use your mobile apps through it, too. Using Pandora Internet Radio or Sticher SmartRadio through the 7-inch touch screen radio will be an exciting change from the AM/FM dials of yesteryear.

Use the Bluetooth connection to make your car a part of your mobile world, and get a standard three years of OnStar. There’s even the OnStar RemoteLink app that you can install on your phone to check your battery, efficiency, and more right from your phone.

Performance Matters

People getting an electric need the ability to drive like the rest of the world. Drivers shopping for a small car or mini car will be thrilled with the sporty, responsive ride that the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV provides. This little car packs a lot of power for being electric, and it’s quiet!

What’s under the hood:

• A nice 130 hp electric motor/controller combo which can definitely handle the expressway.
• A powerful 400 lb-ft of torque, which is even more useful than it would be in a normal vehicle, as electric car torque is available immediately because of how the engine is made. So, instead of needing to build power, it’s already there.
• Speed? Yeah, going 0-60 mph in less than 8 seconds might take some getting used to. You can use that to impress anyone who thinks an electric car can’t keep up with the rest.
