GM chief engineer for electrified vehicles Pam Fletcher says “Being able to provide our customers with the best overall efficiency of any retail EV has always been a key target for the Spark EV engineering team. We’re poised to deliver to the market an EV that’s not just efficient, but also thrilling to drive thanks to the 400 lb-ft torque output of its electric motor.” GM also points out that Spark EV owners will save up to $9,000 in fuel costs over 5 years.
GM is set to launch the Chevy Spark EV in late July in Oregon and California, and while pricing hasn’t been announced, we do know it will come in under $25,000 after incentives.
