If it isn't electric or plug-in hybrid, I will not consider anything that gets below 45-50 MPG. I'm spoiled by how rarely I go to the gas station now.

Seriously, even at 8 years old & 200k miles, I get no less than 48 in my Prius. It's hard to think about living like the rest of the world. lol

This!

Considering:
Hyundai Ioniq (plug-in hybrid or purely electric)
Hyundai Kona electric
Chevy Bolt or Volt

If it isn't electric or plug-in hybrid, I will not consider anything that gets below 45-50 MPG. I'm spoiled by how rarely I go to the gas station now.

This is the last year of the Volt, Chevy is giving up on it, but I'm still hearing good things about the Bolt.
Anyone have one?

I'm the PP and I meant to post the link. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/783138.page

There was an enthusiastic Bolt owner, as well as someone saying it wouldn't be the end of the world to buy a Volt this year (I also was wary since they're discontinuing production).

The full tax incentive ($7500) on the Chevys expires in March. It's already done for the Tesla and I believe still available with no end date (yet) for the Hyundais.

The Volt has the tiniest trunk space, or whatever you call the storage space in a hatchback, that I've ever seen. Not a family car.

I'm the PP. My prius is a 2004 with 180k miles and is getting like 30 MPG and running really roughly. My commute is super short which is why I'm sticking with it but I REALLY need to get my act together and get a new car. Laziness and the fact that there are more options every day is holding me back.

Apparently the Hyundai Kona EV, which is coming to the US shorty, is supposed to be fantastic. Most publications are saying it's better than the Bolt, and is a perfect fit for people that were thinking about the Tesla 3 but didn't like the control scheme.
That's what I'm waiting for.
