I follow your point(s) were speaking for the masses.
This is not at the level of the masses sort of thing -- else it would already have occurred. Which would make you a Master of the Obvious, right?
We sort of beat to death earlier in the thread -- but for present Would Be and Likely Buyers (in the here and now) Little to none of your list matters.
Naahhhh... Actually, the guy is just being an a$$ - something he's really good at.
The 3 points I made were true, and are true. That is why you almost NEVER see an electric car on the road. Electric golf carts on the course, yes. Electric cars on the road, no.
Only you believe EVs are targeted as mainstream cars. You don't like it, don't buy it. Others do like it and are buying it.
Only you believe the auto industry and government agencies have invested tens of billions in a "niche" product. Make no mistake, that degree of resource allocation has has always been in the hope of making EVs mainstream vehicles.
As for your glib "don't buy it" bit of playground intellect, well, that's just the problem: people aren't buying them in the volume the industry needs to keep reinvesting in them, which is why they are re-evaluating their future investment in EV development. Toyota for instance just pulled the plug (pardon the pun) on its EV program.

Like it or not, the American Public simply seems unwilling to spend MORE for a car that can only be used as a second car (or leisure/recreational car) than they spend for their main car. Few people can afford to do that, and of the people who can afford to do it, even fewer are willing.
Battery technology will need to improve - and improve drastically - before Electric Cars have even a chance of "catching on."

Let me get this right, you're claiming Toyota has cancelled the Prius?
