    Sorry, 7 yrs driving EVs has taught me this is a dumb idea for passenger vehicles. First, you’ll need in insane number of swapping stations which will never happen. Second, the number of battery module types is too difficult to inventory everywhere. Third, it doesn’t solve any major problem. Typical DC fast charging now equals the time to use the restroom, a quick bite to eat, and short stretch. Technological trend now is much shorter charging times.

      If it were being proposed as the only solution, then yeah, I’d totally agree! But, it is a solution that is best for SOME situations… and that’s the point. There is not a one-size-fits-all answer to transportation and it’s good to have choices.

    Overall, I'm glad with the way the production version turned out. The concept, while cool looking, would have not had as practical as a use of space (just look at that hood!). Apparently, the designers were able to increase the interior space with the production version-which in itself is a pretty tight fit, so I'd imagine the concept was downright claustrophobic. One thing I would have liked seen brought to the production version, though, is the glass roof. It would have added a premium touch more befitting its price. And personally, I think it would have been a much cooler car if they'd had completely decoupled the engine from the wheels and placed the electric drive motor on the rear axle instead to make it sportier and rear wheel drive, like the Fisker Karma. I think a sportier design mission really helped the Tesla Model 3 achieve a certain desirability and sales that, in hindsight, would have increased the Volt's appeal. Benchmarking the Prius was always going to be a mistake when they were targeting a price point over $10,000 more expensive.

    So true about the 800V system. My family owns an older Kia Soul EV, and are familiar with the speed at which it charges. Last year I flew to New England and rented a Chevy Bolt, and found that slower than even my Kia. Three weeks ago I had to repeat that trio, only this time I rented a Hyundai Ioniq 5. The difference was absolutely night and day. When we decide to upgrade our Kia, we have the Kia on our short list for a replacement after that experience.

    We moved to a floating home on the Columbia River last year. A neighbor rode by on a foil. Although not a Lift branded board, I knew I had to have one. After looking into options ( brands, sizes, etc ), I called the only Lift dealer within hours of us to look at purchasing one but they had no inventory. I ended up finding and purchasing a used Lift eFoil that I was only able to get out on twice due to weather and surgery. You mentioned riding coastal but they are great on the lakes as well. My question is about the battery. I have tried to talk with Lift multiple times over the last month through voice mail, email & their app. but have been given basic responses through email. I did finally get a phone call from Connor and he said he would follow up with tech support to see what they could do. My battery will not take a charge. I can't seem to get a tech to call me and talk about how the charger works. I know I have chargers that will not charge a battery if it is below a certain level of voltage. I own an auto repair shop and deal with standard lead batteries as well as EV systems. Something seems wrong with a 3500.00 battery only lasting 4yrs. The warranty is only 2yrs and the battery cost is about 3500.00. OUCH! I did send a picture of the battery label and was just told my battery and board are 4yrs old. I purchased Lift brand based on quality and support but I'm starting to question my choice.

    A few drawbacks that I can envision is, what happens if a car or truck splashes up muddy water or a stone ? I would at the very least have either button up plastic doors or zips up on the sides. It definitely would protect you better. Plus, if it starts hailing you don’t have any protection from it.

      @@EVResource Many years ago, I worked for the post office and we had old crappy jeeps. Anytime it rained, water would come through any areas with a gap, the brake pedal, gas pedal and the door. Then there were the times where someone going fast through standing water could create a tidal wave of muddy water. Then the most memorable incident happened during the summer. We got a severe storm that had golf ball size hail that pelted everything. People had dents in their car, dealerships had multiple cars with dents, home roofs were damaged. Luckily my new car was parked in the parking lot at work and didn’t get hit, but others were not as lucky. I was in my truck on the route and the area I was at got grazed by that hail storm. I closed the windows and waited for the storm to pass. I have also been in rainstorms that were slashing sideways, I had to keep opening and closing the door to deliver the mail on one side of the street. That vehicle should at least have a heavy plastic shower type curtain at the very least. Then at least you have something to cover the sides. Even modern day Jeeps have coverings for the weather. Our weather patterns are getting worse because of climate change, not better. Even a rolled up vinyl plastic that could be unrolled if needed, would be better than nothing there.

      We'll have to arrange a drag race between the CT and your GT... I know a few CT owners now and I'm sure we could work the schedule out.

    I will never understand why people who think they are "pro" about Tesla don't use the Energy app to get the idea of the range the car can do based on the last 10-15-30 miles of driving. Oh well... maybe this is what a "pro" means nowadays. And it is 4.5% the battery buffer, not 10%. The usable battery is 78 kWh (but use the Energy app to figure it out yourself). I gave you a 👍 for the effort.

    You bought a Chevy in the last 57 years? What did you expect? Have you been under a rock?

    H ello! I have a 2016 Chevy Spark EV and noticed a lower battery range performance. Dealership performed the Electrical Systems Diagnosis ($175). They determined that the battery is functioning at 22.6 Ah, compared to the minimum 31.5 Ah. Headquarters is reluctant to act on it. They want me to "wait and see" and do another diagnostic in August. Do they think they made a misdiagnosis? Should I push for a repair order to start? The warranty expires in August, two months from now. Any advice?

      Don’t let the warranty expire! Hold their feet to the fire and get your car repaired. I’d call everyday if I were you.

      @@EVResourceThe EV battery warranty was only valid for one year, which expired in 2019. The remaining warranty, expiring in August (100,000 mi or 8-years) is for "general issues," not specific to the battery, and since there is no "battery problem code" appearing on the dash, headquarters is reluctant to declare that it is a problem and doesn't want to repair it under warranty. This week we are tracking range per battery charge so we can return to the dealership with some hard data, since the guy at the dealership "expected" that the range would improve after the diagnogstic test. We are in summer Pacific NW weather and the battery is still only charging to a max range of 51 mi. This is 1 mile above our winter mileage range. No good. If I were to call everyday, what should I say?

      @@LaraT-cw1oq it sounds like there is more going on with the warranty situation than usual. My impression that the 8yr/100,000mi warranty was for that it covered the battery and related components. So if your warranty coverage for the battery has expired, I’m not sure it would be worth exploring any further. At least to me, it’s not worth paying out of pocket to keep the Spark EV on the road when there are so many newer and better EV options available on the used EV market.

      @@EVResourceThe dealership rep said he would have to get headquarters to approve the repair order under our warranty. So, I guess we just need evidence (before our last remaining warranty expires in Aug) to move forward. I will go for the buy back option if it becomes available. Such an unfortunate situation. We were happy with the car!

      Update: The dealership recently conducted a second diagnostic and approved replacement of the battery under warranty! (They did not offer a buy-back option). It should be available between Oct and Dec 2024.
