    It is a great alternative to Honda Fit EV. Fit has bigger interior but Spark has more power. Both are rated 82 miles range.

    Except you actually can buy the Spark. The Rav4 EV is available to out of state sales. Perhaps the Spark EV can be had the same way.

    One of the posters under the article said he tried to put money down on one and was told by the dealer that Chevrolet told them no out of state sales. The poster lives in NY.

    Even if I wanted to spend $50,000 for a Rav4, according to Toyota Rav4 EV 2013 | Electric Crossover SUV , California only. Examples to the contrary would be educational for everyone.
