If it has a 40 mile range in the summer, it has a 20 mile range in the winter.
You don't want to be sweating bullets when it's -10 outside wondering if you can make it home.
That said, if your use case is always ~20 miles round trip, and you're ok with that, then it might get you a few years.
I'd spend extra to get a used Spark or Bolt.
