Electric cars are just not there yet. That business of having to lease the battery sucks big time - one wonders how they expect anyone to bother. But if you run your current car for, say, another five years, it's quite possible that electric or whatever eco-friendly technology wins out will be much more practical and affordable by then. There's a high price for taking up immature technologies, and it's not one you want to be paying just so you can drive 16km a day.
Of course in the good old days we'd have made the little buggers walk...
I think the technology is good. But, that lease price for the batteries chews up whatever fuel savings there are, which makes it sort of pointless from an economic perspective.
