Chevrolet will launch at the LA Auto Show the electric version of Spark. It is the most powerful and efficient engine available for the smallest Chevrolet model. Chevrolet has published the first official pictures of the new Chevrolet Spark EV.
Spark EV powertrain is really interesting. Spark EV is the most powerful and advanced Spark, the 130 hp and no less than 542 Nm of torque available from the first motor rotation manage to push the new model from 0-60 mph in less than 8 seconds. Power comes from a battery pack made of 336 cells with a total volume of 133 liters and weighing 254 kg (560 pounds). The battery cells can be completely charged in seven hours or up to 80% in just 20 minutes if you are using a special optional charger.
Besides technical updates, the new Chevrolet Spark EV comes in five body colors: Electric Blue, Black Granite, Summit White, Silver Ice and Titanium. Spark EV entertains its passengers with MyLink radio that comes standard, this is accompanied by two reconfigurable, high-resolution, seven-inch color LCD screens.
"When you engineer a technology-filled, all-electric mini car that goes from zero-to-60 mph in less than eight seconds, customers won't miss the gas," said Mark Reuss, president, General Motors North America. "The Volt and now the Spark EV show that Chevrolet not only knows EVs better than anyone else, we also know how to help customers get the most out of their EV experience."
