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 - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
