Chevy to manufacture the electric motor for the new 2013 Spark in Maryland.

Chevrolet announced today that it would build the electric motor for its upcoming Spark EV battery electric car in a plant in Maryland.

The carmaker also released the power specification for the motor, which will offer 85 kilowatts (114 hp) of peak output and roughly two-thirds of that in sustained operation.

The company said in January 2010 that it would add electric-motor production to a transmission plant in White Marsh, Maryland.

At the time, the company said the motors would be for “hybrid and electric” vehicles; the Spark EV motor is the first announced product from the plant, but it may not be the last.
