"The disabled community doesn’t want to drive gas-burning cars while everyone else zips around in zero-emission vehicles"

I do not understand this craze for EVs. The German Fraunhofer ISI found evidence [1] that it might take up to 93,000 miles / 150,000km until you hit a break even point with regards to emissions (58 kWh; compared to Diesel).

Is that also a factor in most buyer's decisions or is it just about the feeling of "zipping around" in a EV?
