I am looking for an electric bike but not knowing much has held me back from buying one. What is the price point one should be looking for when buying a general commuter bike for about 30-40 miles range?
Are deals ob ebikes common in winter months?
At least $1200. There are some that you can get for cheaper, (about $700) but they'll be a headache.
I have two Rad Bikes (RadRunner and City 4), an Ariel Rideal, and a Ride1UP Roadster V2. Ask me any questions.
There's no perfect ebike but each is a balance between price, weight, and performance, IMO. So, if you're also commuting via train or bus, the Roadster V2's weight is super handy, but the ride is harsher on the thin tires. The handlebars are comically narrow, and the display housing is prone to breaking. (new ones are about $50).
I love the Rad Bikes, and the City 4 is probably my favorite to ride. The Runner is my go for for hauling groceries and boba runs since I added the front basket and insolated cooling on the back.

So from your experience, if I just need to go to the store or the park and the bike will remain in the garage all the time, get a radrunner?
A traditional bike shape might be good for pedal assist, although that is because I have never ridden those other shapes and do not know how comfortable those are for a 6'3" person.

I'm 6'4. The Radrunner is fairly comfortable but I didn't like the flat seat so I quickly replaced it with a Cloud 9 and cheap spring suspension seat post (About $75 total). But for store trips, it's a great ride and the cargo space is super handy. The one drawback is that it's single speed, so I'm biking at about 70RPM in power assist level 2.
