Nothing beats the smell and sound of diesel.

The only electric car I would consider is a Tesla.   I'm not rich, so that's pretty much out of the question... 

All that Hellcat driver (or any other hot car challenged by a Tesla) is simply offer:

Best three out of five races.

This is what I immediately thought of when  OP was saying only rich people. There will be many more in upcoming years in addition to what's already out.

Edit : referring to the Leaf, phone isn't quoting

Subsidies like this are usually geared more towards the low and middle income earners.  Rich people would buy the car whether or not it has a subsidy.

I'm kinda divided on the issue of car subsidies.  On one hand it benefits the country by increasing innovation and accelerating technology.  On the other hand it's a transfer of wealth and social engineering which the government should stay out of.

It's an incentive like PV to get the technology accepted and established

It's more of an incentive to the manufacturers to take a chance on the new tech.  If they have to sell each Leaf at a loss just to compete with the Corolla, they will refuse.  Bring the first 100,000 units down to nearly the same cost as a Corolla, they'll take that chance.  Then, as the demand for the Leaf increases, a higher price can be charged -- especially if the higher cost is blamed on reduced tax incentives.

If you can't get the manufacturers to make the Leaf, there won't be a Leaf option for consumers no matter what they think about the benefits.
