The Spark EV was even eligible for the 20% off MSRP discount last month. A MD dealer was offering a $27,135 MSRP Spark EV 2LT for $19k before any incentives (and I'm sure there was more room to haggle). $19k - 7.5k fed credit - 2.3k MD credit = $9.2k + TTL.Interesting. GM moves in mysterious ways. Or consumers aren't rational and are waiting to see if the state rebate comes back. Hard to say ....
Sure, if you're an image whore. Same people that would buy an e-tron over a Volt.Not many people want a little Spark, EV or no EV.
Still, the rest of the continental US doesn't get to buy new Spark EVs at all. This makes me wonder if Bolt sales will also start in Ca and Or and slowly expand to CARB states, then the rest of us. It doesn't matter to me, I'm not in the market for either a spark or a bolt. I'm waiting for the next big EV to hit the streets - anything Model S to Suburban sized would be nice, but not at the Model S price.Correct number of Spark EV June sales was 359.
IEVs said the 14 number was actually July sales to date.....so 14 Spark EVs were moved on July 1st. At that rate, all new Spark EVs will be sold out by the end of the month.
And with the fire sale lease rates/20% off MSRP purchase offers, no reason why sales would slow down.

Image whore? LoL - nice assuming.Sure, if you're an image whore. Same people that would buy an e-tron over a Volt.
For a daily commuter, you can't get much cheaper than a Spark EV lease...literally, unless you can get paid to drive a car, since the total costs of a 3 year Spark EV lease in CA was....$0...until the EV rebate funding ran out.
Without the rebate, the monthly costs jumps to an outrageous $69/month.
Have you ever driven a Spark EV? I'm guessing no based off your comments.Image whore? LoL - nice assuming.Sure, if you're an image whore. Same people that would buy an e-tron over a Volt.

I've driven a Spark, also drove a Trax. Couldn't pay me to own either.
Nothing to do with image. Everything to do with how the car feels to me while driving it.
Unless the wheelbase is extended and improve the ride quite a bit on the EV, it's the same. [/Sarcasm]Have you ever driven a Spark EV? I'm guessing no based off your comments.
If mini-torque monsters that drive like go carts aren't your thing, the Spark EV could look like a mini Tesla (or Camaro, or whatever the hell you like) and you probably still wouldn't like it.Unless the wheelbase is extended and improve the ride quite a bit on the EV, it's the same. [/Sarcasm]
You keep reverting back to looks for some reason. I'm not a fan of the ride, perhaps you are - enjoy it.If mini-torque monsters that drive like go carts aren't your thing, the Spark EV could look like a mini Tesla (or Camaro, or whatever the hell you like) and you probably still wouldn't like it.
Wow, $9.2k + TTL. That's insane. I got out the door for $24k in May on a 2016 Spark EV (includes TTL) and squeaked in for the CA rebate, so my net will be $14k. And I thought that was a great deal.The Spark EV was even eligible for the 20% off MSRP discount last month.

Or $0 down, $139/month, 36 months for a lease.
So Spark EVs were stupid cheap last month, leased OR purchased...
