I think you lot are missing the point somewhat, the leaf et al are aimed
more at the short commute market, which is more typical of Europe, Japan
and inner suburbia I suppose.
Also Australia has bugger all oil but loads of coal, so on the basis of
sustainability it would make sense to have EVs in Oz and we do have
variance in commuter times but the issue still persists that upfront
costs are too high.
My take is that cashed up folks with an environmental consensuses are
they target demographics for these things.

That's the one thing I think I would find an EV to be a PITA for. While I
rarely stop on the way home for anything, if I need to I need to, and it would
be really inconvenient to have to go home and swap cars just because I wouldn't
have the range to make a side trip.

The problem is that then your existence becomes regimented. Suppose you decide
on your commute back that you need to stop by place X or some urgent matter
comes up and you need to drive to place Y? You have to drive home and swap
cars. Majorly inconvenient if you ask me. Until an electric car can be
developed with a real range I don't have any interest in buying one.
