Chevy Bolt is not a hybrid (full EV) and can cover that commute daily. New they are selling for low $20k, and used you might find them around $13k. Once the stop sale is lifted we might see them much lower, perhaps down to $10k.

I'd certainly run an EV if I had a lengthy daily commute. No wasted time at the petrol station, no wasted time with oil changes, and cheap "fuel".

Some complain about seat comfort, so check that beforehand.

Curious why hybrid is a deal killer? The Ford Fusion hybrid is fantastic and gets 45 MPG. Smooth quiet ride.
