One thing that seems unaddressed is how quickly the car recharges. For example, if I am going on a road trip in a gasoline car, when I run out of gas, I can quickly fill it up and be on my way. With an electric car, an electrical recharge probably takes several hours.
Electric swap stations (eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfdYU7gk8fs) strike me as one of the most promising concepts for electric vehicles. Imagine if rather than ever owning a battery you're just perpetually rent the use of one (perhaps with a small per-swap fee). Alas it would seem we're still many many years away from seeing anything like this rolled out in a real way.
