Tesla, for example, require a lot of space for their battery pack. And recharge took hours.

Using special expensive devices it tooks 4,75 hours to 9,5
Without special device (that can 50% of the battery price) it take 52 hours to recharge.
One problem I see is that industry don't want to lose money. If electric technology reach a level of be less expensive than gas engine, maybe they will try to find someting else, as excuse to increase price, just to keep selling by the usual prices.
What is the cost of electric motor for electric cars, in comparison to the cost of combustion engines (engine plus the obrigatory things like radiator, distributer, carburator, gear system) ?
