Because the usage modes are entirely different? If you could only drive electric-based cars around your own neighborhood, the usage modes would also be entirely different and they never would have taken off either. (As, case in point, did effectively happen in the era of electric golf carts. It wasn't until they got real cars with real car range that things were comparable enough to challenge the status quo.)
