A second official statement from GM today, this time announcing the production of an all electric version Chevrolet Spark.
This new EV mini-car will be sold in limited numbers in various US and global markets in 2013 with GM still holding back on detailed information regarding this model at this point.
Jim Federico, global vehicle chief engineer for electric vehicles at Chevrolet said that "The Spark EV offers customers living in urban areas who have predictable
driving patterns or short commutes an all-electric option," "It complements Chevrolet’s growing range of electrified vehicles,
including the Volt extended-range EV and the 2013 Malibu Eco with
eAssist technology."
Chevrolet has gauged customer reaction through their electric vehicle demonstration fleets in Shanghai (Sail EV), Korea (Cruze EV) and India (Beat EV), and according to the company, the feedback it received will be incorporated into the Spark EV.
GM has also published a video that shows driving scenes with the electric Chevrolet Spark and the way the car is recharged.
