DeliveryDriver, you sound like a perfect candidate for a second car, both for reliability/redundancy and quick payback on an electric vehicle. As Rapid City has four Level 2 EV charging stations, save that Subie for winter beater duty, and consider an EV for the other 8 months. A Bolt could cover all of your daily miles and feel like a rocket compared to the Outback, and a Volt could make the most of hour hours-long downtime for taking opportunity recharges.

Of course, the AWD Teslas aren't cheap yet, but you do have a Supercharger in town, and a 2WD Model S with lifetime free supercharging is now pretty easy to find in the $40k range...

For year-round efficiency, a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has electric AWD that has proven its mettle in Scandinavia and the Australian outback.
Here's an Outlander PHEV at your local dealer, and after the $5836 tax credit, you'd experience some significant monthly savings on a single car solution EVen without midday recharges.. Drivers are reporting 34 mpg after the 20 miles of electric only range.
