Indecisive girl buying a car

Hi ladies,
I really, direly need insight because a lot of decisions I make is based on -‘do i deserve this’ and this time I can’t make up my mind- it has been 4 months since I started thinking about this and I can’t make up my mind at all.
I earn 1.3L in hand a month- no EMIs, save 30-40k a month and spend about 40k.
I drive an unbelievably comical distance everyday to work (130km round trip), the reason being child-rearing logistics
Somedays I carpool with friends.
I currently have a 6 year old petrol vehicle which is a base variant and has zero star rating and is less comfortable compared to other (espresso- maruti suzuki)
I see my peers driving bigger, better cars.
I wish to buy an EV, which costs 15 lakhs and has a 5 star safety rating

Points favouring buying the electric car

  1. Save on petrol
  2. Perceived safety
  3. Feel better about myself

Point against buying the car

  1. I may leave this job in the next 2 years
    2.I will be paying 25,000 in emi’s every month
  2. I feel guilty for giving away my car which is just 6 years old

All my friends have differing opinions and I don’t want to ask AI.

Please help, what do you think. What else should I take into consideration- TIA

Tldr- girl driving 130km to work every day fights with herself over buying new expensive car
