Your second paragraph is why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I don't WFH, but my commute is only about 10 miles round trip and most of my errands are done within that same area. My Toyota is 12 years old and only has ~80k miles on it, so it just doesn't make sense to switch at this point.
That said, I'm casually looking for a new job and my commute would go up dramatically for a lot of options in my field, so I haven't eliminated the possibility.
Not that buying a whole different car is always financially smart, but you have an ideal setup for getting a cheaper, often lower range EV.
Oh yeah, my next car is definitely going to be an EV, regardless, but it does seem silly to spend the money when A) I drive so little and B) I still have student loans I'm trying to clear out in the next year or so. I'm also secretly hoping that in the meantime Toyota will say, "hey here's a RAV4 that's identical to your current one except it's electric!" because I reaaaally love my car and haven't found anything to take it's blocky little place in my heart yet.
