Actually, I do... and it's not as if members on this site don't repeat themselves often!
Since the majority of the people who would be considered ideal for electrics are, by definition, in or near major metropolitan areas... they are most likely to be within easy range of public trans, a vehicle rental service or another, or a system like Zipcar. Also, we could expect more services like those to appear and expand to meet the demand of short-range vehicle owners who occasionally needed longer-range vehicles. Chances are the weekend demand would be hardest to satisfy, and some services would offer to reserve vehicles for frequent or premium users (ie, big spenders). Other services, like U-Haul, would see increased business as more people opted to rent a truck for a day's use (the way I do it), thereby saving the cost of an owned truck that was used to its full capacity only a few times a year (very common among America's non-rural residents).
