Though you did just bring up another good point. Gas in Europe is significantly more expensive than gas in the United States, which would give Europeans in general more of a reason to go electric car if electricity was a cheaper energy source.
Is not a long trip compared to what? Is it common in US to drive thousands kilometres (or miles)?

If you drive to other side of Norway (vertically) it is pretty much the same as driving across US horizontally, but what is the fucking point? Some vacation maybe (sometimes), but significant amount of driving is not usually that meaningful and in Europe it is also fucking expensive. People will usually try to minimize their driving, not maximize. Not just for the money or to avoid dull driving, for environmental reasons also.
