I've been thinking and talking about this for a few years now. There is absolutely no way that we are ready for a wholesale change to EV's. I always thought that McDonalds owners should set up a few EV charging stations at their restaurants that are located at each exit. Could you imagine the business they will get? Charge something for the use of the electricity and reap the benefits of people having a 1/2 hour to an hour of downtime.

Anyway, I still don't see the range anxiety going away nor do I see anyone wanting to sit for a half hour or hour at each rest stop/charging station when making long distance trips. Unless the batteries improve in range and charging time, there's no way *most people are going to make the EV switch. I know I won't.
