Given those criteria, I'd say a Prius Prime might be an ideal vehicle. 25 miles of EV range, lots of utility, and excellent MPGs. I would assume used ones could be had for $15k or less once normal pricing returns.
As far as I can tell the stop sale has lifted, not completely public knowledge but the fix for 17/18 has been out

Sadly prices are higher than ever

But new bolts are $20,000 if you meet the sales discount requirements

If the $12.500 becomes retroactive this FY you are talking an $7500 new car.


The procedure for covering all the recalled vehicles (all '17 and '18 + subset of '19) is up at

. '17 and '18 final procedure didn't come out until a few days ago and as usual, there's a lag before appearing at NHTSA.
