Chevy Spark can easily power sexy Corvette

Chevrolet Spark EV

When the folks at GM, picked up the Spark in a shiny new Corvette with a fuel economy of 30 MPG it was clear before even any news release came out that the Spark inside a Corvette can do some real damage on the roads. I mean a sexy Corvette and the torque and power behind the Spark is nothing but asking for great electric transport trouble.

After test driving the Chevy Spark EV for a week, there was no question in my mind that it was as powerful or even more powerful than I expected. It was even more effectively clear to me the power potential of the car when it had a range of over 80 miles and with regenerative braking can easily get someone 90 miles pure EV. At one point on my zero to sixty MPH test I thought I should open the wing flaps to the car because we felt like we were about to take off (air bound that is).

I mean a sexy Corvette and the torque and power behind the Spark is nothing but asking for great electric transport trouble.

Compared to the average new gas-powered vehicle, the Spark EV can save drivers, on average, about $83 per month in fuel costs according to EPA assessments based on 24 mpg highway for an average vehicle and 12 cents per kWh of electricity cost.  More details are available at fueleconomy.gov.

The day after I gave up the Spark EV I saw reports of a 770 hp Corvette.

Now GM is talking my language folks. I mean this is sex appeal and real muscle behind an efficient car. What a combination.

Now while a plug in car is my ultimate, the Chevy Spark EV should not be looked at in a bad way. It is real power, real torque and will dip in any city or around town like there is no tomorrow. I mean I really really thought the car was going to take off and lift up at certain points. You can blow past anyone in this car.

All I can say is Tesla: watch out!

Armed with his perma-stoned car, Bro (voiced by David Cross, “Arrested Development”), the duo becomes “the newest environmental disaster.” Can Leon get over his tough guy attitude long enough to take on the bad guys and save the day?

Joe Veilleux doesn’t view himself as an environmentalist, but he understands how his actions might paint him with that brush. “I’m not an environmentalist,” said Veilleux, general manager of the U.S. operations of natural health ingredient manufacturer Euromed. “I’m a pragmatist. There’s a difference. A lot of environmentalists have characterized their cause as one that pits them directly against corporate America. I’m part of corporate America, but I also recognize the debt I owe to the environment and want to do my fair share to protect it. In the long run, it’s just good for business and there are plenty of examples throughout history of how our environment is one of our most valuable natural resources.” Veilleux’s company is partner with the Everglades Foundation in a campaign dubbed Glade-iator (www.glade-iator.org), which is a model of the public-private partnership Veilleux believes is good for business.
