Shane never considered an electric car, not in the market for a new vehicle at present.
However what would change my mind, and questions that would need answering.

Queuing for fuel as you're described would be a consideration, what a PITA.
The battery in a conventional car is not covered by warranty, I don't believe. What about an electric car? Imagine those would be costly to replace. And the amount of charge/discharge cycles expected from same.
And the cost of fuel itself, about $1.25 in Sydney at present.
The Chevy volt appears to have been on the market for sometime, surely any bugs are ironed out by now.
Purchase price and resale value.
Given the circumstances you've outlined might be a viable option.

Best of luck.
