They're expensive and depreciate quickly, so the budget minded buyer doesn't want one.
They take much longer to recharge than a ice car takes to refuel, so anyone who likes road trips (or even just day trips) doesn't want one.
They lose a lot of range when towing, so those who want to tow don't want one.
They suck to drive, so enthusiats don't want them.
They're filled with tech, so non-technical people don't them.
They're often hard to repair, so many technical people don't want them.
Basically just leaves the gadget guys.
