I think the most obvious explanation is that nobody has produced an
electric car that people (outside of a small niche) want to own.
People WANT SUVs, minivans, air conditioning, and 300 horsepower
engines, and want to be able to refuel conveniently in under 5
minutes.  At least so far.

I also wouldn't count on a piece in the Opinion section as presenting
all the facts without bias.
