Might be a good fit... looks like she would fit in the new volt commute range, especially if she can charge at work.

I also use mine on the weekends, looks like we are pretty much the same kind of user. I really love that you never have 'range anxiety'. I have a friend with a Leaf - they have 'range anxiety' sometimes. I used to worry about running out of gas when I was young and had no money - I really don't want to relive those days.

Not sure if the rebates are still running - but it sure takes the cost down.

Also the new Bolt looks interesting and has been getting some decent reviews. Just electric though... but a decent range - over 200 miles.
