I just bought a Nissan Leaf. The decision had nothing to do with the environment, I did it for the convenience of not having to go to the gas station or get oil changes any more. After about a month, I am in love with the car. It's comfortable, amazingly quiet, and surprisingly powerful. The acceleration is better than any other car that I've driven, it's super responsive. It was also very inexpensive. I think most consumers are like me and will make the EV decision based on economics rather than environmental concerns.

Right I mean I'm occasionally fairly harsh on EVs because of what I see as people waving off entirely reasonable problems with charging the damn things but I am actually very pro-EV. Electric motors are just very compelling aside from any environmental reasons. There's a reason the auto industry has been re-inventing the electric car every decade for a century.

A friend of mine just refused to pick me up from Airport, because his Nissan leaf wouldn't be able to survive 80 miles both ways and there is no charging station in between.
