If you think of it from the manufacturers perspective it makes sense. Supply of batteries is constrained so of course they are going to use them in cars they can make the most money from. This problem will solve itself over time.

This is why I think it was a mistake not to use plugin hybrids as a stepping stone to full EV's. They might be marginally more complex but you could make five times as many cars with the same battery capacity.

A used Chevy Spark is a great car if you don’t need more than 100 miles of range in a charge. I love mine, and it’s unbelievably zippy in terms of torque/acceleration.
