contents We establish the existence of a family of static, spherically symmetric spacetimes that are solutions of the Einstein Field Equations of General Relativity coupled to the electric field of a static point charge obeying the equations of electromagnetism of Maxwell-Bopp-Landé-Thomas-Podolsky. The point charge is modeled as a naked singularity with non-positive bare mass. The singularity at the location of the charge is milder than that of the Reissner-Weyl-Nordström solution to the conventional Einstein-Maxwell equations, and, contrary to what happens for the latter, the electric-field energy of these solutions is finite.
