Cost per mile is probably best in the volt strictly because of the maintenance. Also, it's super comfortable. I also don't understand the comments about the 'fuel consumption' tradeoffs. Like I said, I got 42 at 75mph with the A/C on. 350ish miles, only 36 was EV, the rest was gas.
Something else is that

“No charging at work” can change

If he can find a free charging spot within walking distance of work the volt wins
