Is Electric Mainstream?

I was reading today that electric cars are now mainstream America. After reading the comments at the end of the article it was interesting to read opposing views. "It's not mainstream we aren't even there yet." Was one of them all the way to "I see them everywhere I go!" It's interesting to read the different subcultures of modern America. Everything from tree hugger to oil happy residents.
The question, is electirc cars mainstream as a MSNBC article stated? It really depends on where you live and how much it influences you. If you live in California you probably will see a few charging stations comapred to Kansas where people will not know what that is.
Gasoline cars are in its prime and in some cases more efficient than electric. We are on a good road for green energy but we surely are not mainstream. Even some vehicles and things will require oil. Such as plastics and so on.
What do you think? Is electric cars main stream?

Thanks!
