“Living in the midwest where sub zero temps are a possibility, I wouldn't buy a Leaf if I had a 40 mile daily commute and no way to charge it at work. I'd at least want the range of the lower end Tesla S. If you run out juice in the summer it is an inconvenience. If you run out juice in the winter it might lead to frostbite or death.”

If the range of the Leaf makes you feel anxious, then I would recommend the Chevy Volt. As an “extended range electric vehicle,” it has a 40 mile electric range followed by a 340 mile gasoline range. If you plug it in every night, most days you won't use any gasoline at all.
