Why electric cars will never be a big thing:

1. Another issue is that some of us want do drive

more than 200 hundred or so miles at a time.

I often go on long drives that are sort of beyond the range of electric cars. The convenience of being able to refuel along a drive, and not having to worry very hard about when the next refueling point will occur, is huge. I can drive and drive and feel confident that I'll find a refueling point at a convenient interval. If electric refueling points become as common, well hurray. But how long will an electric refuel take place? If it's much longer than the five or so minutes I currently spend at a gas station, then forget it.
