Those are your words, not mine. I said EVs tend to be better suited to multi-car families rather than individuals. Exceptions always abound.

I've had a few people laugh at my electric car, then I had a woman I know [that] was really impressed by what some people think of as a dorky little wedge shaped car!

Your example shows multiple people laughing and 1 person that was impressed (and you are still single). There are always exceptions and I'm sure there are even women that find a wedge driving man to be attractive, but they are relatively few compared to the number of women that find Ferrari driving men attractive. Image is nearly everything in many cultures, and sensible is not an image most care to project.

Are these production EVs or are they custom jobs mostly? So far I've only seen 1 Leaf, and it was driven by an old couple. My n = 1 anecdote is completely worthless, but I haven't heard anyone say the Leaf looks cool or is fast, which tends to be the 2 biggest factors the general population considers when determining the level of "cool". My opinion- it looks retarded. Would I drive one- probably.
