Yes it is about range and utility. For the average city dweller they work better than any gas powered product. The range on these electric vehicles is far far far above the average commute. And when you get to work many employers now offer free charging as well. No employers offer free gas, none, zero.  These cars aren't meant for remote rural dwellers but then again they are by far the minority as noted by any population density map of any country these days. You seem to think everyone is like you living in the sticks. Get over yourself and realize that you are a very very very small minority and owning a F series is like clubbing yourself with a bat and expecting things to be good.
