Yes- Her situation does seem like a good candidate for an EV: Local operations area, garage parking, plenty of battery margin to accommodate "issues" (like stuck in traffic in a 10 degree blizzard, or the need to drive back home immediately upon getting work because your kid is barfing in the school nurses office) and the fact that you have another gas car as back-up.
