I see as many Teslas and Leafs as I see Boxster around town. In the last year they seem to be everywhere. I do think they are aimed at the top 20% of wage earners, which is fine for now.
And many more plugins hybrids, like the Volt and new Prius.
I think it's more realistic for hybrids to take hold, and EU restrictions seem to be pushing auto manufacturers in that direction aggressively.
Don't forget California is requiring that every auto manufacturer have at least 1 in 7 cars sold to be a zero emissions car by 2025, and all the cars sold have to average out at 54.5mpg. They are starting to bring these changes in starting in 2015.
