If you need a longer range then a Chevy Volt would be a better fit. It is a plug-in hybrid: your first 40 miles every day would be electric and if you need to go further, it switches to a gas engine with a 340-mile gas tank.
Chevy Volts are not selling, a failure. My daughter has a Nissan Altima Hybrid. She gets 700 miles on a tank of gas. And it'll run in electric mode as often as needed, then switches to the gas engine, and then back again. Push the start button and immediately silently pull away, all the time. I'm really impressed by it, when you need acceleration it pulls away quickly with lots of torque and leaves other cars in the dust. She's had it seven years without problems. Nissan was selling it while getting the Leaf off the ground.
