What a powerful 85-100 mile electric car created by Chevrolet. The Chevrolet Spark
EV was bigger in torque and range than its physical size. What a fast and tough 
little monster. Here’s an excerpt of my review on [Autos.Answers.com](https://web.archive.org/web/20150912191851/http://autos.answers.com/hybrids/test-drive-results-2014-chevy-spark-electric)

_To start, it’s important to note that an All Electric Car usually has 100 percent
torque at zero rpm. Yet some electric case compromise on acceleration and durability.
This is the electric car that does not compromise._

_**How these 80 Plus Miles Are Powerful**_
 _The [Chevy Spark electric car](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/01/chevy-spark-ev-can-easily-power-sexy-corvette/)
performs like a 1957 Chevy. The acceleration from 0-60 mph is less than 8 seconds.
After the car hits 60 miles per hour, the acceleration rate even increases. This
is the performance that one gets for a $20,000 car without the oil, gas or spark
plugs to maintain._

 

_After test driving the [Chevy Spark](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/12/gms-chevy-spark-ev-and-advanced-battery-technology/)
for a week, there was no question that it was as powerful or even more powerful 
than expected. It was even more effectively clear the power potential of the car._
