My commute is about 86 miles and there are no charging stations at work. So a 107 or 110 mile range might be cutting it close? Other options I looked at are Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius Prime. These are hybrid plugin EVs so I wouldn’t have to worry about the range. The Volt is about $29k minus $9k tax credit and Prius Prime is about $27k minus $6k tax credit.
Which do you think I should get?
86 miles minimum distance is too far for a pure EV that starts out with 100-and-change range. My notes from my early "max range" attempts (where I wasn't trying to impersonate a rolling roadblock hyper-miling douche on the highway, but otherwise was going for max range) yielded 80-84 miles on my 2015 LEAF. You could do 86 miles, but you'd have range anxiety every day, couldn't take your car out a mile down the road at lunch or make a side trip on the way home to get milk, etc. 3 years of heavy cycling on the battery and your range will likely fall below that where you could get to work and back under any circumstances. (The batteries are fairly robust, but regularly drawing them down below 20% will take its toll.)
I think you need a minimum headline range of 1.4 (and 1.5+ is better) times your round trip commute if you can only charge on one end.
All that aside, I love my LEAF. In 35 months, I've added air to the tires twice and filled the washer fluid 3 times. As the guy who turns the wrenches on the family cars, it's been great. My commute is 16 miles round trip though and I have chargers at work.
For you, a hybrid is probably a better idea. Go with a 3-4 year old Prius and you'll get change back from $15K.
