That is actually a perfect use case for an EV. Take it to work (or your commuting rail station) and then back home again. Charge it up overnight at home while you sleep.
If I wasn't so close to retiring, I would be looking into buying one for my NYC commute. I'll leave the Subaru Outback for my wife at home and for longer road trips when we are together.

And have it catch fire in the garage? No thanks.
