Looking at the actual stats, you're a bit of an outlier: https://aaafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/202309_... (p. 12). The average commute trip is 22 miles, and keep in mind you also could use a level 1 charger at home.

For most, the purpose of living further from work is reduced total cost of living, especially if you're near a big city [2], where it's not usually an option. I save thousands a month by commuting a little, for the same number of bedrooms (which has a legal minimum where I am). If I wanted the same square footage, I'm saving > $10k/month, compared to being 1/3 the distance from work.
