If you don't drive many miles, it doesn't matter much what you drive, and it's harder to justify a commuter. Too short though, and I think it makes sense to drive an EV again. Short trips where the car never gets to operating temperature and the heater never makes the cabin comfortable favors an EV. Start off with a heated cabin and no worries about the extra wear due to always operating a cold engine.
