The payback is puzzling too. You need to drive it to save on the cost of running it vs Petrol or Diesel.
But at the same time you can only use it for a very restrictive range.

There are 3 main issues as I see it..
1. The cars are not proactical (small storage space due to battery packs)
2. Crap Range (partly manufacturers faults, partly due to lack of charging network)
3. Fear of change/progress
put it this way, unless there's an EV that is RWD, and capable of 400 miles on a charge, and can be recharged in elss than an hour-I'll not be buying
