I like electrical cars. I'd like to own one. The main problem comes when you run out of juice. It would be interesting to see hotels and various other people having outdoor electrical where you drop in $5 and get your car charged for an hour. Still doesn't really solve the problem of if I want to drive over 250 miles in one day. I'm sure efficiency will increase, but still even if they double the value to 500 miles that's still limiting. They'd also need to have a full charge be able to be done within a 5-10 hour range.
