The Spark EV also gets the equivalent of 119 miles per gallon in testing monitored by the US Environmental Protection Agency, GM said in a statement.
The Spark EV will go on sale in July this year in the US. Compared to the average new vehicle, the Spark EV can potentially save its owners up to $9,000 in fuel cost over five years. GM said.
"Being able to provide our customers with the best overall efficiency of any retail EV has always been a key target for the Spark EV engineering team," said Pam Fletcher, GM executive chief engineer for electrified vehicles. "We're poised to deliver to the market an EV that's not just efficient, but also thrilling to drive thanks to the 400 lb-ft torque output of its electric motor."
GM said Spark EV will be the first vehicle in the market to offer as an available option the recently approved SAE combo charger for DC Fast Charging, which will enable the vehicle to recharge up to 80 per cent of its capacity in approximately 20 minutes.
