Of course, this is the least important election since... yeah, it's pretty much a pointless election. Almost Corporate Robot incumbent vs the Corporation itself. Lose Lose for the people.
But, in all seriousness.
Why aren't they suited for the American road.
Back in the 1910's, electric cars dominated the market. Then oil boomed in Texas, and the government heavily subsidized gas powered cars, and eventually, the technology caught up and sales of gas powered cars passed those of electric powered cars. The same thing could happen in reverse between now and 2030.
If you put both the volt and a gas powered equivalent on the same playing field and the volt wins, then that's simply how it works.
Battery tech is only 30% of where it must be. They Obama Volt is not on the same "playing field" - the Obama Volt has a $7500+ taxpayer funded credit - and it still loses. It can't even make the low, low projections Obama set - even w/ GE (his crony company) buying a bunch.
Obama the modern Edsel.
At least, the Gaia hypothesis (in a nutshell, every time a resource starts to run low or gets expensive, technology allows us to use a new one to replace it) dictates so, and I believe in it personally.
The volt's battery (there have been a few cases) will spontaneously catch on fire just as the US economy under Obama's fiscal policies will start to burn up and be reduced to ashes.
