I don't think so. I'd be happy to do my daily commute in a 1 or 2 seater small electric car. Less parking problems, less smog, less traffic jams. I don't need 200HP for my ride to/from work.
The technology is available, it just needs some incentive from cities/govt's.

Of course I'd happily use my gasoline powered vehicle for trips to the West Coast or even for a Walmart run, but most problems cars cause to us are inside cities.
Many people have beater cars for commuting. I think many of them would use some alternative if it was available.
