If your #1 priority is to save the planet and not pollute and you have the money, so of course go for it.
In the pollution case, it’s better to keep a viable used ICE car running than to go buy a new EV.
But that’s completely ignoring the economics of it.
Battery is cheap once purchased. And ICE has more maintenance and repair costs.
Either your drive to the office is unreasonably long, or you are driving much faster than legal. For most roads the legal speed is not that much slower than a bike can go - and you spend a lot of time sitting at stop lights. Which to say an ebike is a reasonable option for a lot of people who refuse to even consider it. Though I don’t know your personal situation and so I cannot be sure. (and often the roads you would have to drive on are not safe for bikes which is a real problem)

Better yet get a bike (or ebike) which is much less pollution and improves your health.
Ah yes, biking two hours each way when I’m summoned into the office. Something I definitely would get up at 4AM to do.

i have an e-assist bike and my 1999 ICE little honda and it works out very well.
