So I just came back from fall fishing in Utah for the week and noticed there were ZERO PHEV, Fuel Cell, or EV cars on the road unless they were tourists from other states.
All I saw were 4WD and AWD cars that locals drive (snow and ice territory)...
I do wish Honda would make a AWD Pilot or CRV that is a PHEV or FCV flavor - then I could drive her to colder states and fish instead of renting an ICE....
Another factor was the fuel prices were very low in UT.
$2.59 / gallon in UT compared to $4.89 / gallon in CA.
That might be the biggest reason people won't buy an alternative propulsion car....

My guide wanted a selfie with a smiling brown trout:
Cold winter day and then a warm day in beautiful Utah fishing on the Weber river with a drowned dry fly...
