It's been said here earlier. The fact is: These are NOT cheap cars. They are $40K. They are never going to be selling hundreds of thousands of these cars.
Yes, there is a tax credit, but is everyone even eligible for the tax credit? The majority of the time the tax credit goes by how much you earn. If you earn too much, no tax credit.
I think I remember Toyota and BMW poking fun at the fact that it's a $40K electric Chevy Cruze.

Does Chevy need this car? Oh yeah!
Does the US need this car? Oh yeah!
Will I buy one? Oh NO!

Plain and simply, the vast majority of people buying cars are going from point A to point B and the drive doesn't really mean much to them (look at the top selling cars in the US and you'll agree).
