   Camping trailers are a specialized need.  Few of us own one.  People   
   who do, or people who own other trailers (I'm thinking of getting a   
   cheap low-load trailer to haul our motor scooters on vacation)   
   probably won't go for the all-electric car.  Or may have multiple cars   
   in the household - one for the primary commuter and the other for   
   trips and the other commuter.
