The argument about range is valid. I can't believe I am that rare a breed of human that does drive 96 miles day just to and from work. Living in the penis of the US, I also enjoy going to Disney World once a month to visit with frinds and that is another 300 + miles one way. So those two circumstance demand more out of an electric car.

As far as infrastructure, I recently read here an article from MIT about battery charging and power absorbtion. They claim to have found a way to charge batteries, Lithium, in seconds, by guiding the molecules through the lithium plates.

That is the breakthrough we need in order to fully charge a vehicle in the time it would take to fill up your car.
