The best electric scooters and personal EVs for your commute

My commute isn't too bad. I have to walk a mile or so to the metro, ride it for about 25 minutes, and then it's a short walk from the station to the office. Driving would be exponentially more annoying (traffic) and costly (there's a $5 bridge fair each day, plus gas and parking). Carpooling is an option but less dependable and besides, I like the solitude of public transit (it's good reading time).
