I live 50 miles away from work. I drive 100 miles round trip. And my office has recharging stations.
I’d buy a Tesla today if only to use their electricity.
But I’m retiring in three years. Not worth the investment.

This and impressing your liberal friends are the only reasons to own an EV.
Company issued departmental cars to several of us. Cool - less wear n tear on our own equipment. Then they realized that we were getting unearned benefits and started charging us a fee to use their cars. My buddy responded by turning in his vehicle and buying a Nissan Leaf.
We were claiming mileage @ 51 cents per mile. Of course I had to buy gas for my vehicle and he didn’t. Our company put in charging stations at all their facilities so he got free recharges. He got away with that for two years when the company started metering the chargers. It was a heck of a deal - while it lasted.

Consider a Ford Mach E, which you can get with a financing plan (not a lease, but it looks like one) where you can turn the car after 3 years or choose to keep it. Or sell it. Or use it for a trade in.
Your mileage may come into play, but the tax credit (Ford has it as they haven’t sold so many cars they’ve run out), lower cost of electricity and maintenance may outweigh the mileage issues. Plus, you can get one between $50K and $60K.
