I actually like the comparison, as it's a valid one.
But we also have to recognize that smartphones are easier to charge on the fly than a car.
I don't think the number of charging stations will be an issue, but the quality of charging will have to improve for mass adoption.

Disclaimer: I also have a basic phone (bought solely for the large battery). But since my work is online, I can't live without having a smartphone or a tablet handy. The opportunity cost of not having it on me when a business contract comes through on Facebook (yes, we do business via Facebook) or via e-mail outweighs the inconvenience of having a phone that sometimes dies halfway through the day.

If we manage those opportunity costs... say... like banning ICE cars in city centers or giving a free pass for electrics on HOV lanes... mass adoption will come much sooner.
