No state incentives that I know of in WI, but Ford is offering a huge incentives for lease now.

Yup, I figured out that an Energi would be a better idea.

@raadsel Thank you for the info. It look like there is an 8K incentive on the energi right now, so that makes it very affordable. The heater part is very interesting. Is it better only if I let it warm up plugged or is it the same (the heater uses the ICE)? I have not learned the technical terms for it yet (I think it's type 1 vs 2) but more than likely I'd only be able to 110 volt charging. We have a decent service at our house, but I doubt it's up to the 240 charging w/o some serious modification.

@Kelleytoons I ride a scooter in summer. I live in Wisconsin, so walking to work in snow and cold is just not an option. I guess I asked the question the wrong way. I will definately take one for a spin and see if I like it from a driving point of view. I was thinking more if the hybrid would actually be able to charge in that short of drive. The Energi looks interesting but it's a lot more $$$.

I'm looking for a new vehicle and I'm trying to decide if a C-Max is right for me. I have a very short (2 ish mile) commute to work. The speed limit on my commute maxes at 40. I'm thinking that this would be great for a Hybrid vehicle, but I'm not sure as I have never driven / owned one. I usually go back/forth to work twice each day (as I go home for lunch). Thoughts? Would this work and I'd get great mileage? TIA
