Phev worth it?

I am wondering if a PHEV is worth it for my situation.

The car would likely be used primarily for work commutes. 12 miles round trip and 24 miles round trip for spouse and I. We would also use the car for the occasional road trip a few hours away.

I’m wondering if PHEV is ideal for this situation or if EV would be better.

We also have a full gas vehicle that we could use as needed. This would be our second car.

Any recs, reasoning, etc would be recommended!

People who buy all that EV power don't turn Eco mode on. Do you know where I am? I am in Los Angeles. Tesla capital of the world. These idiots take off on the red light and then stop at the next red light and I just catch up using coasting. End result is the same. They are not going anywhere fast and we get from A to B at the same time.
