Probably because you cannot just wheel into a fuel station and put in a full tank in 5 minutes.
Lets face it, most people will not live with the limitations of an EV that needs to be charged frequently. I could not live with anything less than a Tesla (range wise) because a trip to the nearest shopping center for the weekly grocery run is about 250Km round trip. I could not, and indeed would not tolerate driving something like a Leaf that would require charging for a significant time just to allow me to drive home again.
