SPARK is a shared mobility service that allows you to easily find and use a car with your mobile phone without visiting an office or a specific location to pick it up. The localization and unlocking of cars is done entirely through a mobile application. Our service enables our users to have a car available always and wherever they need it, without a commitment to own and maintain one, whether they need it for a few minutes, for a day or for a longer period of time.

The SPARK service uses only all-electric cars, which sets us apart from many of our competitors around the world. In Bulgaria, SPARK operates in Sofia and Plovdiv.

SPARK's fleet consists of 100% electric cars. Before using a specific car, you can see the battery charge level and its possible range in the mobile application, and on the dashboard of the car, after unlocking them. The range of the car depends not only on the battery level, but also on the weather conditions and the driving style of both the previous user and yours. If necessary, electric cars can be charged at any of the stations in the network of our partner Eldrive (visible in the application) completely free of charge. Electric vehicles can be charged at any other station, according to the conditions of its use, as well as in ordinary contact with a suitable cable. Charging on stations from the Eldrive network starts and ends with the Eldrive card, which you will find in the car documents in the glovebox. All electric cars in SPARK have an automatic transmission. In the glovebox of each car you will find the documents of the car, insurance policy, two-sided accident report, ignition key and User Manual. Keep in mind that electric cars have two features - they are almost completely silent and are much more dynamic than conventional cars. Please consider it while driving.

Electric vehicles have different ranges, depending on the model and the personal driving style. With a fully charged battery and in ideal conditions, Spark vehicles could have the following range:

VW eUP: up to 100 km;

VW eUP! 36: up to 220 km;

Skoda CITIGO e iV: up to 220 km;

This may happen if:
1) you have not parked the SPARK electric car in a valid SPARK zone as marked on the map in the SPARK mobile application;
2) you are trying to end your session with a remaining range of less than 10 km. without the electric car being connected to a charging station.
You will be allowed to end your session after resolving these issues.

If the remaining range of the car is more than 10 km and you do not need to use the car anymore, you can release it anywhere in the SPARK zones. If you still need the car, find the nearest charging station in the SPARK mobile app by pressing the "Charge" button on the app's home screen. Depending on the type of charging station, the charging time can vary from 20 minutes to several hours. Please plan your trip accordingly. In the glovebox of the car you will find detailed instructions on how to charge the car at different types of stations, as well as a card for free charging in the Eldrive network.

The price for using an electric car from SPARK is calculated by two components - the time during which you used the car and the kilometers traveled. The price per minute and kilometer is different for every specific model of electric car you have chosen to drive. All models in SPARK have different fixed rates for 1 hour. The hour rate will be automatically applied when the specified minutes, which form the hourly fixed price, are reached. The timer stops and you will not be charged extra for the remaining minutes until you reach 60 min. After that standard rates apply until the hour rate is reached again. Тhe same mechanics apply for each subsequent hour within your session.
The price per kilometer does not change and is charged to the account of each model per kilometer.

Example:

If you use VW e-Up! The fixed 1 hour rate is BGN 9. When the time counter reaches this sum it will stop and you will not be charged for the remaining minutes of this hour. For this model the hour rate applies after the 31st minute. The mileage tariff does not change and you will be charged for each kilometer driven.

The usage price includes insurance and charging of the electric car, if you need one.

The daily session is activated automatically when the amount for the specific model of electric car is reached. When the daily session is activated, the car is available to the user for 24 hours from the beginning of the session, and the price includes unlimited charging in the Eldrive network throughout the country. Within the 24-hour session, you will only be charged for the traveled kilometers according to the tariffs for the model, which you can check in our mobile applications and on our website.

When you select a car in the SPARK app you will see info about the vehicle, info about the pricing of this model, option to select a payment card and a reservation button. On the price slider you can choose “long term offers” and full pricing info about this model will be visualized - short term and long term. You can choose what type of offer you want to see. Long term offers include 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 30, 90 and 180 day periods with fixed discounts and mileage. The discounts vary between 20% and 40% depending on the package and the car model you choose. Please, have in mind that the full fare for the long term offer package will be charged from your payment card when the car is unlocked. During an active long term package you can extend in with another long term package once.

All standard charges and taxes are included in the pricing, but to avoid any unexpected costs, please review the List of Possible Penalties.

The fare is taken from your payment card and processed after you have finished each session, or after one full daily use has been reached. In case you have more than one registered payment card, the fare is taken from the card indicated as your primary one in the settings of the SPARK mobile application. In case of insufficient availability on the card, you will not be able to start a next session until you cover your unpaid debt.

You can find your journey log and payment history on the SPARK mobile application, My Account submenu, or on the SPARK website.

You are allowed to park SPARK electric cars free of charge anywhere in the "blue" and "green" zones (except private parking lots) in Sofia and Plovdiv, in the parking lots of the specified partner locations, as well as in the marked areas in the mobile application. Any other parking fees are your responsibility. In case you start your session in Sofia and end it in Plovdiv or vice versa, you will be charged an intercity fee of 30 BGN .For trips from Radinovo industrial zone to Plovdiv and vice versa, no fee will be applied. The city of Bankya falls into a purple zone and the fee for ending a session there is 2 BGN .

eGO points are part of SPARK's program to stimulate and reward loyal users. Each user receives 3 eGO points for every BGN paid for the service. If the payment is made with a VISA card, additional eGO points are received for every BGN paid for the service. If you use a car with a low charge level, specially marked with a yellow icon in the application, plug it to an Eldrive charging station before ending your session to receive an additional bonus of 150 eGo points.

By accumulating a certain number of eGO points, you can receive a voucher equal to the value of a full-time daily session for using the SPARK service. The value of the accumulated eGO points required to receive a voucher varies according to the model of electric car, as properly stated in the mobile application. The value of each voucher issued equals the daily price for the respective electric car model (during the working week), specified in the price list at the time of issuing the voucher.

The eGO points accumulated by each user cannot be exchanged for their monetary equivalent or transferred to another SPARK account. eGO points can only be converted in the form of a voucher for future use of the service for the specific user.

There is an "eGO points" section in our mobile application menu. You can see the number of points accumulated so far, as well as the number of points you need to receive a voucher for the value of daily session with different models of electric cars. The same information you will find on our website as well.

eGO points have a validity period of 24 months. Please note that eGO points are not awarded if the trip is paid in full or in part with a voucher for the service.

No - when you reach the required number of eGO points, you can exchange them for a voucher for the value of a daily session for the specified model of electric car. This voucher can be used according to the wishes and discretion of the user - to pay for individual short trips or for a daily session. As long as there is a loaded and valid voucher in the account, all trips will be paid with priority from it until the voucher is fully used. Please note that vouchers issued in a given country in which the SPARK service operates cannot be used in another.

When temporarily deactivating the account in the mobile application of a user of the service, the accumulated number of eGO points are saved and they can be used after the activation of the account. In this case, their validity is extended by the period for which the account has been deactivated.

We recommend you charge the SPARK electric car at one of the Eldrive charging stations marked on the map in the SPARK mobile application. They are free for all SPARK users.
All cars from the SPARK autofleet have active Autocharge function. It allows our users to start and end a charging session with a CCS connector at a DC station of the manufacturer ABB in the Eldrive network after switching on the connector in the car without having to verify the session with an Eldrive RFID card. Starting a charging session at a standard (AC) station or with a ChaDeMo connector at a fast (DC) station will be activated remotely after calling our 24/7 support center on +359 2 419 34 76.
All cars in SPARK have the ability to be charged by standard (AC) or fast charging (DC) stations. To charge at a fastcharging station use the cable of the station itself. Our partner charging network Eldrive has high class Type 2 charging cables of all AC charging stations from their network in Sofia and Plovdiv. If necessary, you can take a “Schuko” charging cable for normal socket after calling our support center. The battery can also be charged at private charging stations outside our partner network, but you should check if they are compatible with the car you use and pay for the service.

In case you want to use a car for a longer period of time, you can order a "Schuko'' cable and pick it up in person from “Kiler” at 22 Abagar Street in Sofia City Logistic Park, behind Tsarigradsko Shosse Blvd. for Sofia and after a preliminary appointment by phone for Plovdiv. The cables will be provided to SPARK users during Killer's business hours - Monday to Friday from 09.00. to 20.00 and on Saturday from 10.00 to 14.00 When ordering a cable, you must show an active SPARK profile and fill in a handover protocol, which you must keep until the cable is returned.

Yes, you are but you need to take a “Shuko” cable. The rules for charging are attached to the back of the cable and we recommend you to follow them strictly. Recharging at home may take up to a few hours, so please plan your trip accordingly.

All electric vehicles in SPARK are insured against theft and traffic accidents. Please note that in case of an insurance event due to the fault of the user, insurance franchise deductible fee and/or penalty fee is due in accordance with the Vehicle lease and service agreement, which you can find on this page. In the event of an insurance event for which the consumer is not at fault, no deductible is due. There is no fee or penalty if the user has no fault for the insurance event. Users with activated Supercharged plan have full insurance coverage.

Please, act in accordance with the Rules of Road Traffic, other legal acts of the Republic of Bulgaria and the SPARK Terms of Service. In case of a traffic accident or under any circumstances after damaging the car, you must immediately inform emergency services by calling 112 and notify SPARK by calling +359 2 419 3476. Wait for the arrival of our representative and follow the instructions you will receive.
