> $30k isn't cheap imo

Many non-treehugger analysts are projecting upfront price parity is expected by ~2025 without subsidy. Coupled with lower fuel and maintenance costs the adoption curve will really take off at that point. Will they be for everyone at that point? No. By 2035? Seems likely they will be for the vast majority of people, my guess is there will need to be some option for plugin hybrids for some.

If they can create an SUV that can go off-road like my xterra can and can go the same distance hauling a decent weight I'll be interested. Until then I'll pass. I bike to work so I don't need a small commuter vehicle.
