You seem pretty confused and you have your units wrong (e.g. using kWh when you mean kW).
The Spark EV has a 3.3 kW on-board charger. The 120 volt L1 charging cordset that EVs and PHEVs come with and L1 and L2 AC J1772 charging stations are all EVSEs, NOT chargers. For L1 and L2 AC charging, charger is on-board your car.
http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14728&p=332668#p332668 and the TIME USED CHARGING at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=101293 might help (even though it's for a Leaf which has larger battery capacity than the Spark EV). From the above:

**I don't know if its been measured at 200 or 208 volts yet to see if it increases to 30 amps.**
Diagram at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=262630#p262630 might prove useful.
Spark EV should be able pull no more than 16 amps at 240 volts = ~3.8 kW, so nothing beyond 16 amps applies to you. Many other EVs (e.g. '13+ Leaf w/optional 6 kW OBC, Fit EV, Rav4 EV, Ford Focus Electric, etc.) have 6+ kW OBCs.
The Tesla Model S and Rav4 EV come w/a 10 kW OBC. http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3517#p3517 has an examples of miles gained per hour of charging for the less efficient Rav4 EV, depending on the line voltage and EVSE max amperage.
For DC fast charging, the charger isn't in the car, unlike for the above.
For DC FC, GM has decided to support J1772 CCS (combined charging standard aka combo plug aka Frankenplug) along with the other Frankenplug cast members at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=279363#p279363.
Out of that cast, only BMW has a serious BEV program but their i3 isn't shipping in the US until 2Q 2014. But even they, for Japan (I'd guess) figured they have no choice but to support CHAdeMO for the i3 there (http://transportevolved.com/2013/11/15/in-japan-bmw-i3-gets-chademo-slow-charge-connector-hidden-under-hood/). There are 1858+ CHAdeMO DC FCs there vs. almost certainly 0 J1772 CCS DC FCs. Run http://news.bmw.co.jp/press/2013/11/13a.html thru http://translate.google.com/ if you want to confirm their CHAdeMO support for yourself.
There are virtually 0 publicly accessible J1772 CCS DC FCs in the US. See http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/12357-SAE-vs-CHAdeMO/page28?p=489485&viewfull=1#post489485. On the other hand, there are over 3000 CHAdeMO DC FCs in the world (http://www.chademo.com/).
I've started a thread to discuss the 3+ DC FC standards at http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3555. There is plenty of discussion of Frankenplug (J1772 CCS and Mennekes CCS) at http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/12357-SAE-vs-CHAdeMO. Skip to the last 10 pages or so...

if the old Sparks can take advantage of the faster level II chargers that need 6.6 kwh or higher/faster 9.7 kwh charging?
The limiting factor is that YOUR car has only a 3.3 kW on-board charger. It won't do any good if you plug into a 208 or 240 volt EVSE that can supply 20+ amps, as your car can't pull that much via J1772. Only alternative for faster L2 AC charging is to replace the OBC w/a higher wattage one or retrofit a 2nd one (e.g. like the Brusa charger some have put on '11 and '12 Leafs). See http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4583#p4583
At my work, we have EVSEs like the CT2021 and CT2101 shown at http://web.archive.org/web/20130403092428/http://chargepoint.com/products-chargepoint-stations.php. When my '13 Leaf (w/6 kW OBC) charges, it pulls ~5.8 to 6.0 kW, per the display. Those are running at 208 volts. When I see a '11 or '12 Leaf charging (which only have 3.3k kW OBC), I see ~3.7 kW being pulled.
There is a Tesla Model S that sometimes charges and IIRC, I see it pull ~6.2 kW. Model S has a 10 kW OBC and an optional 2nd one. But, to fully utilize the 10 kW OBC, you'd want to have a 40 amp, 240 volt EVSE. The 6.2 kW makes sense as the CT2021 is limited to a max of 30 amps @ 240 volts but at work, they run at 208 volts (per conversation w/Chargepoint tech who came on site to work on them).
To utilize the 2nd OBC, you'd need to use/have their "High Power Wall Connector" EVSE. See bottom of http://www.teslamotors.com/charging#/installation and http://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/downloads/highpowerwallconnector.pdf. To take full advantage, you'd need to have 100 amp breaker. I believe it'd pull 80 amps @ 240 volts, at max. This is still AC charging though.

I'm assuming that the DC Fast charge option wasn't available because they were still working on how to let that much power in so fast, without burning up from resistance.
Nope. Others have done it (CHAdeMO and Tesla Superchargers at even high power levels). See http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4730#p4730 and the post below it.
I have no idea why GM delayed the availability of the of the DC FC option (adds support for Frankneplug) until late December 2013 (http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1087390_first-car-sold-with-ccs-fast-charging-now-delayed-to-december and http://insideevs.com/official-2014-spark-ev-to-get-dc-combo-fast-charge-option-starting-in-late-december/) or if it's been delayed further. Doesn't matter, as even if you had it, it's be near useless. See above.
You're a perfect example of the unwashed masses that Tony and I refer to at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=332791#p332791.
He's brought this subject up here before at http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3794#p3794 and http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3806#p3806. I haven't read the rest of his posts in that thread as it doesn't really concern me. (I have a '13 Leaf SV w/optional CHAdeMO DC FC port.)
