Hello Harry,
The Spark EV is a "Compliance Car". It is only being sold in California
and Oregon. If you live in one of those two states, you may want to
consider it. It also comes with a pack comprised of A123 cells.
Personally, I would not touch a GM product after what they did to the
EV1 and their callousness with regard to the starter switches.
Only the Tesla models, iMEV, and the Nissan Leaf are being offered
here. The Tesla is a little rich for my blood.

With a little help from
my friends, I am corrected: according to
http://www.nissanusa.com/electric-cars/leaf/charging-range/range/
"The Nissan LEAF® can get you 84 miles on
a single charge. [*] Speed,
topography,
load, and accessory use can significantly affect the
estimated
range."
So, recalculating the list using 84 miles @
$3200 for the Leaf EV:
Leaf: ~381 (=32000/84)
i3: ~511 (=43000/81)
Tesla-S: ~337 (=70000/208)
The Tesla Model-S is still the overall better
deal using my funny-numbers
above, and the
Leaf is still the better lower-purchase-cost deal.
I hope everyone realizes that
range figures are a moving target (everyone's
range will vary). The mynissanleaf.com
forum had a chart that showed some
speed to
range ratios that some might find interesting:

But I stuck with using the EPA
numbers for each EV, not because I believe
the EPA range is fact, but to compare apples
with apples.
