I think you some of you guys are missing the mark in the same way that some artists and writers do: You feel that because you are promoting a "better" product, everyone should gravitate towards it. Well, it doesn't work that way. Like any other product, cars must be geared (heh) toward what the market audience wants and will buy. Even if you could build an electric car with the same range as a gas vehicle (i.e., the car could outlast the driver in terms of endurance), some people might still be reluctant to buy it. Change is scary. Not being able to account for all situations (no matter how ridiculous or unlikely) is scary.
In order to make electric cars sell, you need to make the transition from ICE to EV as seamless and unnoticeable as possible to the average consumer. Even hybrids, which really are the halfway point, took coaxing to sell initially. Just give it time. A change like this can't be forced; it needs to happen organically.
