Many people who summer there have electric golf carts which they use to zip around the very large park to the rec hall, pool, pickle ball courts, and adjacent golf courses. Electric bicycles are popular too.
Golf carts are quiet, have a small footprint, and don't pollute. Everybody also has a petroleum-powered vehicle which is used for trips of several miles or more, and for trips to and from their winter home.
Pure electric cars, those not hybrid, strike me as glorified golf carts. They may look like cars but their relatively short range makes them impractical as one's only vehicle. They'd work for those who seldom leave town or who also have another car with "longer legs."
We know an elderly lady who only drives her low-mileage 10 year old Buick to the store, to restaurants, and to church. An electric car would be great for her, plug it in when she gets home and next day its ready to run her around town.
A CA nephew has a hybrid and drove it here and back like a normal car, the 1700 mile round trip no problem. He loves it, I wonder about resale value after a few years when the batteries wear out. I've seen pricy quotes for replacing a hybrid battery pack.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) seem like a reasonable compromise for those who prize greenness or very high mpg. However, I believe I'll stick with petroleum-powered vehicles for the next few years.
