The demand is absolutely there. Most EV's have long waiting lists including Teslas. The biggest issue right now is automakers can't build them fast enough to satisfy demand. Price is an issue but in time it will come down. There are still hurdles in infrastructure though as I can't imagine owning an EV in a situation where you live in an apartment and have to park on the street.
