A really short range EV would make a great commuter for most people. Enough range to do the daily route 2 times with the heating/cooling at full blast and every accessory turned on.
Range anxiety is for when you don’t have a charger at home, you insist on taking your EV on road trips while towing, and for extremely long commutes.
Yeah, I was actually considering looking for an old Leaf for exactly this. This was the first summer I had two teen drivers in contention for one car and the sharing did not go as smoothly i has I hoped. While it seems silly to spend money on an additional car just for summer use, it was mighty tempting. Either of them could get to work for a round trip endurance of like 20-30 miles
A Leaf as a first car might be ideal. Cheap to buy, cheap to run, barely fast enough to get in trouble. If I was not an apartment dweller, I’d like to have one for myself

And they keep asking for gas money, it would be satisfying to reply “plug it in”
