I consider my commute to be shorter than average at 7 miles > 15min. I'd have to carefully drive the PiP to go round trip on 1 charge, however I bet I could get work to allow me to charge on site. In that case, I would still want to complete the 14 mile round trip so I could fully utilize their cheap electricity.

12 miles just isn't far enough to be worthwhile for most people. Range needs to be extended to 40 miles to really become beneficial.
