don't forget the plug-in accord either. EV range is in between the energis (both cmax and fusion) and the PiP. There are other options and if battery degredation was your big problem there are other EVs that have better TMS and get better range - Honda Fit, Fiat 500e, Rav 4 (mentioned previously), Focus (yes I know its only the EPA range thats better, but its still has a TMS built in).
My wife has a Volt and loves it. The longer battery range (compared to other plug ins) is worth it for her. The car is also a very excellent build. I would say the only downfall is the size, its a subcompact, but if that doesn't bother you then its a strong alternative. In additional, because the way the volt operates, it still drives like an EV, even after the generator kicks in (versus the other plug ins that drive like a hybrid when the gas engine kicks in).
