You come up with one that will get me 300 miles down the road at highway speeds, allow me to recharge in 15 minutes and do it again, haul four people and two weeks worth of luggage, and make it price comparable with that 4 door-V8 powered-18 mpg. truck that is in my driveway, and I will take a look at it.
Heck make it comparable to my severely underpowered 1995 Subaru Impreza Outback and make it go as far, be as efficient and convenient to refuel, and be as economical to purchase, maintain, and operate and be as dependable in all kinds of weather and conditions, and I will take a look at it too.
In my list of requirements, I forgot to mention that it has to do all that and have an a/c that will allow me to hang meat in the thing during an August road trip in Texas, as well as run a radio/cd player, windshield wipers, headlights at night, run the dvd player for the kids, charge my daughter's cell phone and I touch, and as you pointed out, operate and be as dependable in all kinds of weather and conditions. Until they can do all of that, they are nothing more than funny little gimmicks for people into funny little gimmicks.
