Your "Startrek Syndrome" evidence changes nothing. Electric cars suck.
Allow me to explain: You have a small, vocal group of enthusiasts who protest loudly about some product they think is wonderful ( "Please don't cancel Startrek/Buffy!") A large company realizes that the product is a joke that will bring them no real profit in a mass market, despite the loud screams of fixated Fanatics. Cold weather makes electric cars even worse.
