I dunno if i could ever buy a car just based on my commute... unless that was the only reason I'm using it for.
But if that's the only criteria, and creature comforts are not a concern, then sure. ID prob get the cheapest decent EV you can find and coummute it until it dies.
The commute is regular usage within a single charge, making an EV a financially wise choice. Sounds like they're a two car household so if an EV doesn't fit they can use their other car.
the only variable is gas vs electricity cost. Electricity isnt free.
google says @100 miles $5 (home charging) for EV and 7-10 for gas (depending on mpg). Using 3 days a week @100 miles and gas at 2X the cost = a $700 year difference. Its not nothing, but not bankrupt inducing either...
