How much use do you get out of the pure electric range on the C-MAX? I have a Chevy Spark EV and can make almost all trips I need. My longest is Oakland to San Jose and back. It has only 18kWh battery, but in warm weather we see 4.8 avg miles per kWh.

Perhaps solar would help solve your daytime rate problem? Or a car with more battery?

Wife's commute is 15 miles roundtrip, so we get good use out of it. Just wish it took less kWh in to get the same number of miles out.
