It's not that surprising given that stuff in America is far apart, and public transportation is terrible. A Leaf supposedly gets 70-100 miles on a charge. That's just barely enough for a daily commute for many people working in the East Bay or Los Angeles. And for anyone else who wants to travel, it can only be a second car. Until an electric car can be reasonably used to travel 500 miles in a day, I can't see one becoming my primary vehicle. EDIT: Note that many Americans can only afford one car at a time.
