I think they'll sell pretty well.
I'd be curious how many 3er drivers venture more than 100+ miles from home? Otherwise, there's a charging station in every owner's garage. Add in the probability of those 3er drivers not having a second or third ICE car and I'd bet it's less than 5% and likely less than 1%.
