Thanks for all input.

Leaf and Fiat 500E er available here but are out of scope. They are significantly more expensive. Also, Fiat has fit & finish issues and Leaf battery temp management seems to be not so good. My usage pattern is either <25 miles or >200 miles. Pure BEV would be expensive and overkill for <25 miles and will still force me to charge on long trips.

Other hybrid alternatives are Lexus CT 200h (Prius "vulgaris" in nice dress) or GS 450h (a rocket that has roughly same MPG as my current 100hp sled).

It is <0 deg C for couple of months here. If Volt is running ICE bellow 0 deg C then perhaps Prius/Lexus non-plugin has better ROI and lower running costs?
