Sorry but I just don't see the benefits of EVs... yes They sound bad, range is very limited (not the biggest problem in my opinion), charging time sucks big time and performance is flawed since they go fast straight line but otherwise...

I am a car nut and a gadget lover but EVs don't attract me a bit. Zero. 

To most, less sound is actually a huge bonus... Charging time is already adequate unless you are in a rush or drive long distances, and handling performance is lower because no sport car builder has done a sporty EV YET.

Once the Germans will have decent EV on the market, German mentality will flip really fast. Right now they are just protecting their interest. Human nature. Also eventually employers will offer charging stations at office parking lots, government might even impose it to boost the charging network.
