price wise, the prius prime was 41k OTD vs a full EV which at at the time was about 54k + taxes.
I don't think i would use up 20k in gas/maintence for the lifetime of the car. usually keep my cars about 10 years before i switch.

I heard stories of some in which they use it exactly like you, very short daily commutes to work, within PHEV all electric range and one tank of gas lasts like a month ... or more! Your situation and something similar is exactly what PHEV's were designed for.
