Electric is Sexy because its clean, efficient, quiet, high tech and smart - 5 words that do not come to mind when you think Gasoline. I don't care what kind of Gas powered car you drive now, but that "technology" you've got under the hood is over 100 years old.
Electric is Sexy because YOU want a Tesla.

It's not clean you still have to generate the electricity somewhere

Not really any more efficient than a modern diesel in real world driving

Quiet, yes. But wouldn't you rather be listening to the burble of a v8 compared to the hum of your tyres.

High tech and smart is the salesman massaging your ego to get you to part with 3x the price of a Lotus Elise.
