I love the idea of shifting to electric cars. Here in BC the provincial government has been spending tax payer money installing charging stations everywhere for such things.
We are shifting to electric vehicles in regions of the world where carbon taxes are high on gas vehicles making it cheaper to own electric (basically some isolated pockets of Scandinavia) or in places dominated by movie stars and others with deep pockets (e.g. Hollywood).
For the rest of the world it is a niche that is going to gain very slowly. Once oil starts to become rare driving up the price we see the rest of the world switch.
