Arrghhh....
I have an abiding faith in homo economicus! If you have a alt fuel vehicle that is cheaper to buy, and cheaper to run, you'd have a human stampede to it! But you don't! You're talking about an inferior car with inferior capabilities, at higher prices that a standard car. It may cheaper to run, but all those savings are eaten up by the higher purchase costs. So, of course people don't buy them. The only people who want to waste their money are those people who pay a premium for fashion! And those are the people who pay attention to rock stars.....
If you can figure out how to cut Li-Pol batteries manufacturing costs to 10% of what they currently are, then you'd have your problem solved. But that'll take huge amounts of applied engineering, not rock stars....
