What would make you buy a 100% electric car?

Having a garage where I can charge it.
Living in a condo in the city, my car is parked at the other end of a hallway in a parking garage. I would not trust it alone charging in a parking garage where anyone could have access. Otherwise, an electric car makes a good bit of sense for me personally.

1. Yeah, most 'all electric' are small vehicles and none too practical.
2. For the price you can buy them now, how many years of gas would the difference in price offset?
3. This is a big one for many people. If you're trip is a few miles here and there, and you don't need much space, and $ isn't a huge factor, but you're green, sure an all electric is fine. However, until range can be extended to at the least modern levels, they aren't practical enough for long distance travelers.
Throw in a D Cell for more range

highly interested. I am fine with the current "drawbacks" that are present in electric cars but I can look past all of them.
I am pretty sure I will buy a 100% electric car after my next vehicle. That should give them maybe 7 years to improve battery technology.
In fact, I dont see any drawbacks from the Tesla S. Good range, good looks...10K from the government...
