If the US had diesel cars from any other brand than VW and Mercedes, I'd have bought one a decade ago. That alone is the reason I don't own one.

As an aside, if Europe is as urbanized as I'm lead to believe, and the public transportation as developed, then I can see no reason not to own an EV. Drive the EV locally; take public transit or borrow a friend's petrol car for the longer trips.
