CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Trusted by Hybrid & EV Owners Nationwide
Found them through internet search. Requested mobile installation. They called back within 2 hours to set up an appointment. Turns out they had a shop near me, which saved me 50% on installation cost. Took about an hour.
Prompt, quick, professional service. So much cheaper than getting another car. I would highly recommend their service to anyone who needs a hybrid battery replacement.

I was so grateful that my friend told me about this company. What I thought was going to be a $8,500.00 repair, as quoted to me by my regular auto shop, turned into a $2,400.00 repair. I will be forever grateful to Greentec EV & Hybrid Batteries. Thank you guys so much. Their customer service was excellent over the phone, and my experience with the technician that came to my home to do the repair was also excellent. I can’t thank you all enough. You really saved me!!

The hybrid battery on my prius started dying and I managed to drove to the shop so I left it with them and told me they’ll finish it by tomorrow at 11am but they done it a lot earlier and faster than I expected. The car was running great again with the purchased of 12 month warranty remanufactured. I’m highly satisfied with the work they’ve done and I recommended them big time.

Spark EV Complete Battery Pack Replacement
2013-2016 Chevrolet Spark EV Battery System
Our complete battery replacement restores your Spark EV’s 19kWh battery pack to full capacity. This isn’t a module repair or partial fix—you’re getting a complete system that brings your car back to its original 82-mile EPA-estimated range. The replacement includes full battery pack removal, installation of your new system, thermal management verification, battery management system programming, and complete diagnostic testing to ensure proper operation.
Understanding Spark EV Battery Degradation Over Time
The Spark EV used advanced LG Chem lithium-ion cells arranged in a unique A123 Systems battery pack configuration. Despite quality construction, these batteries are now 9 to 12 years old and showing predictable age-related capacity loss.
Early 2013 and 2014 Spark EVs are particularly affected. These vehicles have experienced over a decade of charge cycles, temperature variations, and natural chemical degradation. The 2015 and 2016 models aren’t far behind, with many owners reporting noticeable range reduction from new.
What made the Spark EV fun was its surprisingly quick acceleration—0 to 60 in under 8 seconds thanks to instant electric torque. When the battery degrades, that performance characteristic fades along with driving range. You’re left with a car that feels less responsive and can’t travel as far on a charge.
How Spark EV Owners Know Battery Replacement Is Needed
Unlike larger EVs with hundreds of miles of range, the Spark EV started with just 82 miles when new. Losing 20 to 30 percent of that capacity severely impacts the car’s practicality. A Spark EV that can only travel 55 to 60 miles on a full charge becomes challenging for daily use.
Watch for these indicators:
- Fully charged range shows 65 miles or less
- Battery percentage drops quickly during normal driving
- Reduced acceleration compared to when the car was newer
- Longer charging times than you remember
- Battery thermal management system running frequently
- Range anxiety on trips that used to be routine
The Spark EV’s battery degradation often happens gradually enough that owners don’t notice day-to-day changes. But comparing current range to what you experienced two or three years ago reveals the capacity loss clearly.
What Makes Spark Battery Service Different
The Spark EV was never a high-volume seller. Chevrolet only offered it in California and Oregon initially, expanding to other markets later. This limited availability means fewer technicians have experience servicing these vehicles, and parts availability can be challenging.
GM dealers typically don’t stock Spark EV batteries anymore. Many dealerships never serviced them even when the cars were new, referring customers to specialty EV shops. Finding knowledgeable service for your Spark EV requires locating a facility with specific electric vehicle expertise.
The battery pack itself sits under the rear seat and cargo area, integrated into the vehicle structure. Replacement requires understanding the Spark EV’s unique architecture, including its liquid thermal management system that keeps the battery at optimal operating temperature.
Spark EV Battery Replacement Investment vs Vehicle Value
Spark EVs have maintained surprisingly strong value in the used market, particularly in California where electric vehicle adoption is highest. Well-maintained examples with good battery health command premium prices because buyers understand these cars are no longer produced.
A Spark EV with severely degraded battery range might sell for $3,000 to $5,000. That same car with a fresh battery pack is worth $8,000 to $11,000 to buyers looking for affordable electric transportation. Battery replacement bridges that value gap while giving you several more years of electric driving.
Consider the alternatives. Finding another affordable, fun-to-drive electric city car isn’t easy. New EVs cost significantly more than battery replacement, and used EVs in the Spark’s price range often have battery issues of their own.
Installation Process for Spark EV Battery Packs
Spark EV battery replacement demands specialized knowledge of GM’s first-generation EV systems. These aren’t Bolt EVs or Volt plug-in hybrids—they’re unique vehicles with specific service requirements.
Our technicians follow comprehensive procedures: complete vehicle diagnostics, high-voltage system safe shutdown, battery pack disconnection from thermal management, physical removal of the depleted pack, installation of your replacement battery, reconnection of cooling systems, high-voltage system restoration, battery management computer programming, and extensive testing including charging verification.
The process requires several days to complete properly. Rushing battery replacement risks improper installation or incomplete calibration, which can cause performance issues or even safety concerns.
Service is performed at our equipped facilities. Visit our locations page to find the nearest location with Spark EV service capability. Mobile installation is not available due to the specialized equipment and facility requirements for this work.
Warranty Coverage and Customer Support
Every Chevrolet Spark EV battery replacement includes warranty protection covering materials, workmanship, and battery performance. Given that these are relatively rare vehicles with specific service needs, having warranty backing provides important peace of mind.
We stand behind our work and the quality of the battery packs we install. If any issues arise during the warranty period, we’ll address them according to the coverage terms. Complete warranty details are available on our Warranty Page.

Know Your Hybrid’s Battery Health Without Breaking the Bank

Above, we’ve listed some of the most common hybrid error codes. Keep in mind that the check engine light must be onfor major issues to be detected.
