How much range do you need? Pretty much all of the cheaper options are rated for 70-80 miles. You'll have to pay $15-20k to get more than 100 miles (Bolts have 240 miles and can be had for about $20k).
I haven't heard anything bad about the 500e (it is a Fiat/Chrysler, though), but there's no fast charge option if you need/want it. Spark EV would be my first choice for an EV in the $10k range because of its optional fast charging (I personally would try to get one with it) and good battery management. The Leaf is killed by its battery's lack of thermal management.
