I could definitely see the desire being driven geographically. For small towns across America, yeah, it probably doesn't make much sense. For city dwellers, it's probably a lot easier to own an electric platform. I can tell you that Tesla cars are everywhere in Boise. Now I'm seeing a ton of the Kia/Hyundai electric cars popping up.Pretty much the way I see it as well. I live out in the boondocks and they put in two charging stations near city hall. Funded by the Feds of course. I have NEVER in two years seen a vehicle charging there and I go by it at least once a day.
Despite advances in both battery and electric motor tech, they are too limited for anyone but suburban or city driving.
Their cost and frankly a lot of doubt about safety and other problems have pretty much kept them niche.
