Exactly and anyone preaching this is about to take off simply doesn't know what they're talking about. EV sales in North America are pitifully low (barely 1% market share). There are countless figures out there that support this as well if you do a google search. I do believe we will see electric vehicles primarily used in public transport and for other services in a highly urbanized setting. However, the majority of the average joe out there is not adopting this technology as a way of transport until it is much more proven has an vast network of infrastructure available that make typical travel habits more accessible to owners.
Hybrids will likely fill the gap but even they have issues of their own revolving around poor performance in our climate, reliability etc. How is a fully EV going to perform here from November-March....Its a long way off.
