    Because the public charging networks still suck, and are way too much of a hassle for the majority of drivers who lived their entire lives knowing that there were a handful of gas stations just around the corner anytime they needed them.

    Are estimates of nearly 1/3 of the population correct?

    The notion of “use cases” is inherent
    (subliminally, alluded, or straightforward) in the bulk of comments.

    Range, infrastructure or cost (and convenience) are often implied (directly/indirectly) in the bulk of the responses.

    Safety is not explicitly mentioned. Nor is the hybrid/PHEV with any assertion.

    In looking for the “chie” in the responses, the notion of a middle ground technology (vs a middle ground lifestyle) is rhetorically absent yet subliminally adopted. Toyota read the landscape correctly.
