The Chevrolet Spark EV, a plug-in version of the company’s Spark city car, will be officially unveiled at the Los Angeles motor show this month.
The Spark EV is expected to utilise a lithium-ion battery pack mounted under the rear seats, which will power an 85kW (114bhp) electric motor.
Also being launched is an advanced version of Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system, with improved smartphone integration. It will first make an appearance on the US-only 2014 Impala saloon.
“The Spark EV and next-generation MyLink demonstrate Chevrolet’s commitment to delivering the advanced technologies that today’s consumers will be eager to adopt and truly value,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Global Chevrolet marketing.
Joining the Spark EV on the Chevrolet stand will be the Impala, and a Hot Wheels Camaro featuring a customised interior and paint finish.
