The Hummer is real and will be built.
As far as EV ownership, my probable son-in-law just bought a Volt, has charging at work, loves it. Has a different car for his long road trips, but the Volt fits his daily commute needs. I have a friend with a C-max, charger at home and work, loves it.
90% of most persons driving is well within the range of an EV. As noted, there is still a considerable number of people that live in a place where EV's aren't practical (say ya to dat Michigan Yoo Pee, eh). For those, hybrids and ICE's will continue to be available.
EV's sales are indeed a low percentage of sales. Fuel is cheap right now. But as fuel creeps up, battery cost and recharge time go down, there will be a break point where the EV's make economic sense. Kind of like the gas/diesel calculation where I don't drive my truck enough to pay back the incremental cost of the diesel in less than 20 years. Which is why it's a gasser. The government has made it clear they will follow Europe's lead and tax large engines and and gasoline in particular to drive the shift.
The future will be a heavy mix of EV's with autonomous driving and some ICE's for those hybrid applications that warrant them. I personally will probably buy an EV when I retire in a couple years, and keep my old truck gasser to use for those interstate hauls.
But the Hummer is coming and I can see the EV train coming.

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
