I think we will see a new bump in adoption in the next 1-3 years. Soon the range increases will stop in favor of lower pricing combined with several package upgrades.
What I see is the upcoming LEAF becoming the base standard for range with models offering extended range packages. Expect entry level pricing to drop to the mid 20's before incentives topping to the upper 30's fully loaded.
An example; 40 kwh LEAF S comes standard with QC on the low end verses a 75+ kwh LEAF with Pro Pilot, etc. coming in just under $40,000.
What I expect is Chevy either bring the Sonic back with double its original range to compete or simply developing a whole new platform.
The reality is MOST OF US don't need or want to pay for 300 miles of range.
