I think all the years newer than mine give you the option to save the charge, and 2013 and beyond have a little more EV range than mine. You'd be pushing the very outer limits of EV range IMO at 58 miles, but the ICE does fire up seamlessly since all it does is provide juice like a generator, it's not hooked up to a transmission.

A 2013 volt should have the option to save charge, but even on the highway using ICE the Volt gets pretty good gas mileage. I got around 40 mpg on the way home from the dealership (the one time I used gas in mine), but I like to follow semis and not everybody does that. If you run it out of charge on the way to work getting way over 100 mpg, and only get 35-40 mpg on the way home, you're still netting better gas mileage than anything else out there
