He says his commute is 50 miles one-way, which means a 100 mile round trip. The car has an EPA rated range of only 89 miles. The only reason he thinks this will work for him is that he says there are EV chargers at work, so he thinks he can charge up there for the trip back home. 89 ÷ 50 = 1.78, so he should have a 78% safety margin, which in theory should be more than plenty... if he can indeed charge up at work every single day. (And he's going to need to know where he can charge at a public charger on the way home, as a backup plan if and when he misses charging up at work.)
But as they say: In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.
I think he needs to give it a real-world test. In particular, he needs to make sure he can use those EV chargers at work. For most people, a car is the second most expensive thing they'll ever buy. He really does need to make sure that car will work for him, and as I said, he needs to figure that out ASAP.
