Chevrolet will use this month's Los Angeles Motor Show to unveil an electric version of its Spark supermini.
Chevrolet is being tight-lipped on the subject of the new electric Spark; however, we can reveal that it will be fitted with an 85kW (114bhp) electric motor powered by a 20kWh battery supplied by A123 Systems.
Planned for launch in the US in 2013, there is no news yet on whether the Spark will be offered in the UK.
The Spark EV will be unveiled alongside the firm's new MyLink in-car infotainment system which is claimed to offer "new levels of personalization and more seamless smartphone integration."
Chris Perry, vice president of Global Chevrolet Marketing, said: "The Spark EV and next-generation of MyLink demonstrate Chevrolet's commitment to delivering the advanced technologies that today's consumers will be eager to adopt and truly value."
The Los Angeles Motor Show runs from 28 November to 9 December.
