Hmm, not as efficient as a Spark, 3x the battery, more than twice the charge rate (7.6kW for Bolt, 3.3kW for Spark, the two biggest Spark drawbacks for me are the 15A onboard 240v charger and the fact that it's based on a low end Korean subcompact with mediocre aerodynamics) I found a salvage Spark with no serious body damage, car shut down, $9500 estimated repair cost. What idiot totaled the car instead of taking it to a dealer and making GM fix it while it had a warranty? Unless it's a flood car and for some reason didn't get a flood label on the title, I just don't get it. My salvage dealer looked at it and said "I smell a rat". There are 3 2015s up for auction next week. Maybe I should buy all three and become a used EV dealer. I can keep the one I like the best, and pay for half of it by selling the other two. Maybe hire a hotshotter with a 2-3 car wedge instead of using a regular car hauler. Or for that matter, rent a wedge, borrow a diesel pickup, and get them myself.
