The idea is nice, but the best lithium car batteries can only deliver about 6% of what gas can deliver.

I can’t take a weekend out and travel 350 miles in 3.5 hours and then stay for a day and then travel back 350 miles in 3.5 hours.

You are easily adding a day’s time for recharging the car, assuming that you can recharge the car where you are at.

Batteries and technology will double every few years once these cars are on the road. The automotive aftermarket will deliver.

At a friend’s house and need to charge up? Imagine the arguments.

Hey, mind if I charge up?

Well yes actually I do. We live week to week and that charge is going to cost ten bucks. We already had four people charge their cars here this week alone.
