Cheap, electric, short commute options?

In Albuquerque (low humidity, not excessive winters (20F?), high winds, 100F+ summers).

Eleven mile round trip commute 1-2 times each weekday. I'm a boring law-following driver - I love my wife's Subaru eyesight-controlled cruise control set exactly at the speed limit.

I figure it's a good time to try an electric vehicle - they've been around long enough that I can get a used one finally. I might have access to a parking lot day charger, but with my short commute I wouldn't think I need it.

Technically I had been hoping to get an Elio (which also recently said they'll do an electric one)...but I am not counting on them ever producing them, nor that my wife would get over her fear of it getting crushed by some truck.

As long as it's reliable, has decent A/C, and I can hook up my phone's audio (aux or bluetooth), I don't really need anything else.

I would rather get a sedan profile - I think hatchbacks are as ugly as station wagons and I miss having a trunk, but my cheapskate gene is stronger than my vanity gene.

Looking on Carvana, it looks like the Leaf and Volt are my best options ($15k-$22k), but I have no clue if they're worthwhile... or even what I should be concerned about for electric.

Are they good options are are there better options? is there a hybrid that's a better choice and still has enough of the benefits of electric? Are there years to avoid for used electric?

I hope to get something that will last me until self-driving cars are affordable...
