As far as power goes, i say the Spark wins, faster, TONS OF TORQUE (140-hp, 327 lb-ft) vs [111 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque]), slightly lighter and more efficient.

However the 500e has 87 miles of range with larger 24kwh battery (EPA city/highway driving: 122/108 mpge), and though slightly better city, the Spark has lower range at 82 miles with smaller 21kwh battery (can be as low as 19kwh) (EPA city/highway driving: 128/109 mpge).

Spark has slow level 2 charging at 3.3kw which sucks, 500e has 6.6kw level 2 which is twice as fast. But Spark has the option for dc fast charging which is 80% full in 20 minutes. From what I know level 2 charging is the most common use, and dc fast charging is really rare, but you'd have to research that in your area.

I think the Fiat wins the style department.

Depends what you like. Personally i'd go with the 500e.
