The acceleration of electric cars will always be better than cars with an internal combustion engine. Electric engines create massive torque numbers and the torque is delivered almost instantaneously.

While improving, the travel range numbers need to be improved even more to make electric cars feasible for common use. My not very fuel efficient crew-cab pickup truck gets over 350 miles on a tank of gas (while carrying several passengers and baggage). When it runs empty, I need 5-10 minutes to fuel up and I'm back on the road. An electric car would need much longer time to recharge its batteries to get 250-300 more miles. I also own a minivan which has a much higher fuel range than my truck.

My ‘common use’ is a few miles a day with occasional one-way trips of about 300 miles.
