Chevy Volt seems like the best option to me right now. They’ve been reliable, can run off battery for ~30 miles, and then are just a normal hybrid that gets great gas milage. You can find mediocre examples for <5k where I am in Portland/Seattle. 10k would get you a really decent one that should definitely last >5 years.









+2 for offering a lifetime purchase option (though it is kinda pricey)
