I must say I can't wait to get a spin in one with 400 lbs of torque, it's not much to look at but it's definitely better than the Leaf.
0-60 7.5 seconds compared to an average diesel hatch in Europe 11-14 seconds (yep 9 USD per Gallon does that)
The battery has thermal management for starters.
The difference in range @20 Deg C might not be huge between the two but in winter the Spark will trash the Leaf.
Can charge for free with public chargers. (for now)
I think it's very clever the way they could fit the battery in the Spark considering it's the same as the petrol version.
Has anyone got a spin in one yet ?
It's supposed to be coming to teh E.U in 2014 I hope Ireland is on the list !
One thing that really pissed me off is the way the U.S and E.U decided to drop CHAdeMO in favour of SAE, that means there are 0 SAE chargers here yet and probably most of the world compared to many thousand CHAdeMO. This I just can't believe was allowed to happen.
So that means if I were to buy an E.U/U.S ev I would have to wait all over again for a QC rollout !
