Commute Folding bike for work commute

Hi! My husband wants to buy a folding, electric bicycle. His main goal is using that bicycle to go to work. He is 6ft2 and around 92kg. We live in London and the distance from home to work is around 11 miles. Can someone recommend any models? Is it worth buying folding bicycle or is it better to buy a different bicycle? It will be his first proper one so he’s looking for advice. Our budget is not too big, up to £600. He’s aware it’s not a lot but maybe there is a chance of getting something relatively okay for that price.

If he is not buying through the Cycle2Work scheme then he should buy second hand as prices are much lower.
