The range is only a big deal if it's your only car. If you are married and your spouse has a gas-powered car, you can use that one for long trips. I know several people who leased i3s and Leafs just for commuting to work because the savings over leasing or buying a gas-powered car are pretty compelling. For families with children, an electric car plus a minivan is a combination that's pretty hard to beat. You get an efficient electric car for commuting, and a comfortable large car for weekend trips, hauling the kids around, and buying a bunch of crap at Costco and Home Depot.
