Out of interest how are the other countries in the UK finding electric cars?

In the UK there was a bit of a boom but that's slowed considerably. The infrastructure isn't there. Electric cars are considerably more expensive and electricity is not cheap here. Until they are much cheaper than their combustion counterparts I just can't see them taking hold. I'd love to go electric but it's just not viable.
