My Nissan Leaf battery, which everyone on Reddit with an electric car they bought yesterday is very sure will die any minute, has yet to lose any of its range after 6 years and 50k miles.
Pros: no range loss
Vehicle:

Mileage: 80467 km
a used 2013-2015 Nissan Leaf. Tennessee winters should be at least somewhat mild so they should be gentler on the battery, and it's best if you can park it somewhere in the shade. They often go for $2k-$3k private sale around me because the battery life is fading and nobody wants a car with 40-60 miles of range after "filing up." Slow charging using a standard 110V outlet is better for the battery and should suffice for your use case as long as you can charge overnight and maybe longer over weekends.
Pros: slow charging sufficient, gentler on battery in mild winters
Cons: fading battery life, limited range

2013 Leaf! We loved it but the ~90 mile range made it a work and home only car.
Pros: loved the car
Cons: limited range

We had a 2015 Nissan Leaf EV back in 2018. Fun little car but it only has an 80 mile range.
Pros: fun little car
Cons: limited range

San Antonio Leaf driver here, a Leaf is fine in Texas as long as you don't want to do road trips (battery heating gets to be an issue around 250 miles on a 40kWh on the interstate). This sub is overwhelmingly negative on the Leaf, despite it being a good local commuter.
Pros: fine for local commuter
Cons: battery heating on road trips

I went through the same last month. 2019 Nissan LEAF I bought as a Certified Used Car from a Nissan dealership out of state last year with only 6,998 miles on it. They included the Nissan Factory Wrap warranty and I also bought an extended power chain warranty ( with a really good discount) too. My car was 52 months old when I experienced the No Start condition due to the 12 volt battery.

they do suffer more with battery degredation due to crap thermal management (older models).
Cons: more battery degradation, crap thermal management
