I like the idea of electric cars, may purchase one, but they don't make sense for everyone at this point. The infrastructure isn't there, they're very expensive, the range isn't practical for some, and many of the choices are unreliable. I applaud those who can make them work, but they're not for everyone yet.

Electric vehicles are the future of cars, but it will mean an entire extra class of people who will be cut off from car ownership.

And they're not going to like it.
