I think the Kia Niro looks interesting as a PHEV. 7k more than hybrid version.

42km range. Looking at how I drive I'd say 80% of the km would fall under electric. You save 3-4L / 100km vs the hybrid. So at $1 per liter you have a packback of about 125000 electrical Kms after the $2500 government rebate.

So at today's gas price and lifetime ownership it looks to work out cheaper.

I also like the way it looks.
