Mike50 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hello, I just discovered "abetterrouteplanner.com" and find it very useful. But to use it with a Spark EV, it seems the best option I have is to use a Hyundai Ioniq with 50% degradation and adjust the Km/Kwh. I cannot use the similar range first gen Leaf because it is ChaDemo and the Spark EV is CCS. Any plans to add the Spark EV? Kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason-ABRP Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 We'd love to add the Spark EV! If you're willing to help out a little, I can get it added this week. I basically just need the charge curve on a fast charger, I've managed to dig up everything else. If you have one, you could drive it down to a low SoC (like 5-10%) and video the dashboard as you fast charge to 100%. Assuming it has a power readout, or at least some kind of SoC readout, I can create a charge curve from that! Or if you can find someone online who's already done that, that'd work too!

fargo1019 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 If I can figure all this out, I will contribute something. We just got a Spark yesterday and I'm still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great! Let me know if I can answer any questions for you to help you get started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spark EV Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 After asking for help in the r/SparkEV subreddit, u/krishtosh wrote this: As luck would have it - Forgot to plug in my car last night, so I ran her hard on the way to work and used a DCFC near work for this video: https://youtu.be/ZXHeMGwEAqg A few things to keep in mind: \- Averaged 40kW when I've seen up to 50kW at the stations that can do 150kW. This station was rated for 50kW so the overhead was lower. \- I was running accessories like A/C and the infotainment because it was hot as crap and I was eating lunch. \- The car only shows the accurate percentage and time remaining when it's shut off so I wasn't able to show those screens. \- I didn't have the heart to run it up to 100% SOC (got it up to 98%) because a Leaf had been waiting almost 10 minutes and didn't want to make them wait another 5+ for the last couple percent. ​ I can't imagine not having DCFC it's a major convenience.

Jason-ABRP Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 That's perfect, actually! I've released the alpha model, the charge curve is still a little bit of a guess, as you noted. On that note, do you know if the Bolt EV PIDs work for the Spark? If so, we can start getting some live data set up for y'all as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spark EV Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thanks Jason. Yes both Volt and Bolt PIDs work on the Spark but I believe needs some modifications. However my car don't have CCS. But I can ask to other members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
