If the goal is environmental (reduce the impact of burning gasoline), then currently a full BEV is inferior to plugin hybrid. The success criteria should not be number of BEV on the road. Rather, it should be total electric miles driven. For that goal, what is more likely to succeed in the market? A really expensive full BEV? Or a SUV, pickup truck, etc. that is only a little bit more expensive than gas version and has a 25 mile EV range?
