“Spark EV's battery has undergone more than 200 ,000 hours of testing in our global battery systems labs,” said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM's global electrification engineering team. “This testing paved the way to allow our customers to do multiple DC Fast Charges daily to help alleviate range anxiety and improve convenience.”
