2016 Spark EV

CG Says: Unlike the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark which is redesigned this year, the 20016 Spark EV is unchanged. However, the Spark EV is newly available in Maryland. In the realm of electric cars, the Spark EV comes off as quite a bargain. Performance is better than that of others near its price, driving range is competitive, and the level of standard equipment is generous. Plus, base prices put it at less than $20,000 after the $7,500 federal tax incentive. Too bad none of this matters to those outside California, Oregon, and Maryland—those are the only states where Chevrolet is selling the Spark EV, at least for now.
