These electric vehicles need to come with a gasoline powered apu for heat/air and emergency power generation. Yes it defeates some of the purpose but it does make it much more practical.

I just think hybrids should be the standard not full electric. Hybrid pickup trucks that get 40-50 mpg would be great.
