There are just a few EV makers today, Tesla in California at 92K, eBox also in California at 70K and a few new ones coming up like Miles Javalin 28K and Subaru R10 30K ? , ZAP future 60K or Phoenix motor cars SUT 35K in CA with incentives.
The best and closest thing is a full hybrid like the Prius. In a few months you could add batteries and make it a plug-in hybrid. A used 04 or newer prius will get you started. Bio-diesel can be good if you have fuel in your area. Soon VW and Peugoet will have hybrid bio-diesels. Now that would be great.
Right now even a bio-diesl idles and doesn't have regen brakes or the ability to drive in EV mode. Only a full hybrid can so far.
A used EV like the Toyota RAV4 with 100+K NiMH battery life would be great but California has them all and won't let any go.
You could even convert a vehicle your self but getting advanced batterioes is hard and expensive. That is why plug-in hybrids make sense.
