Electric cars are selling like crazy in Europe, and especially in the Nordic countries. We are paying in Iceland about $2.20 per liter right now.

Even without expensive gas (I'm in the States), lots of friends and acquaintances my age (mid 30s) basically don't want to buy another ICE car again. I bought a Volt in late 2016 and it's pretty much the perfect solution for this transition period. I maybe put gas into it quarterly, and it would be less if I didn't go on road trips. Everyday driving is almost always accomplished on the battery.
While there is a bit of a return to ICE vehicles in the current cheap gas era, those that aren't completely myopic know where things are going.
Also, the best way to sell electric cars is to get people into them at least once. Once they feel the on-demand torque, they never look back!
