The electric vehicles that become market successes will be the equivalent of a Honda Civic or Toyata Corolla. They will be small and the luxuries will be limited to those to make a commute bearable

The electric cars today are too large and expensive. Cheap will make them ubiquitous. "Cadillacs" are not required. A well engineered, small, Mercedes that is inexpensive should do very well.

The successful electric vehicles will be limited to urban areas and short drives. There may be a real market among young woment who can make the purchase and arrange the financing and home delivery from their I phones.

The big problem:

Technically you can connect your Tesla to a standard 110v plug receptacle with the free adapter that comes with the car. But you can only charge slowly–at about 3 miles of range per hour parked. ... It will take up to 4 full days to fully recharge an empty Tesla car battery using a regular wall outlet.

Nightly Charge Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Range per Hour of Charge 29 miles
Power Level to Vehicle

50 amp circuit breaker 40 amp load
