This factory service and repair manual for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV describes a four-door hatchback with battery-electric drive, offered in Base and LT form. The absence of a combustion engine changes the shape of the book, since high-voltage components, their isolation and their diagnostics take the place of fuel, ignition and exhaust work, but the chassis, restraint and body systems still need the same procedures, specifications and torque values, and the wiring diagrams still have to trace every circuit on the car.

Known issues on the 2015 Spark EV. Three recalls are on the federal record.

Owners have logged 76 complaints, 24 on the power train, 8 on the service brakes and 6 on the engine.
