I need a eV for a 120mile round trip commute - what's my best bet?

  Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt will both have you covered comfortably from a range perspective. Test drive both and buy the one that you prefer.

  FYI: If you're in cold weather, assume that you can loose 40% of range on the coldest day of the year. Thus, when it's 20 degrees, the 120 mile trip will take 200 miles of range. Furthermore, you need a bit of a safety buffer, because you shouldn't plan to drive an EV to 0% everyday, so if you plan on driving in cold weather, you should have about 240 miles of range. FWIW: My wife and I had some very close calls in our 2014 Leaf. (EPA rated for 80ish miles) One 40 mile round trip on a 10 degree New Years Eve nearly left us with a dead battery.
