If you live in the city, don't drive much, can't afford to buy all at once and are into that "look" it makes all the sense in the world.

Exactly.
EV's by current design, with the current technology aren't for everybody, but are well suited for some.
The environmental impact is likely only a trade-off with burning oil, at best. Considering what I hear about toxic by-products, and hazardous waste from manufacturing batteries, It does indeed look like internal combustion engines are less harmful.
Technology will eventually make EV's the better means of conveyance. They have a good way's to go, though.
