Yes, the Volt is really fantastic. I bought it December 2016 and haven't filled gas since then. I have about 5500 miles on it so far. I drive about 25 miles each way to/from work and couple of stretches are downhill on the way to work and hence the battery drain is minimal, usually 50% at the end of the day. The drive is very smooth and there is hardly any road noise. The buying (or rather leasing) experience with the GM dealer was also really smooth and impressive, unlike working with other high pressure dealer sales staff.

Gasoline doesn't store well over a length of time, you might want to look into that before it clogs up your engine.
The engine will actually crank up and run for that exact reason if it sits for a while.
And it has a sealed gas tank to keep the volatiles from evaporating away.
That's already handled by the Volt.
