My theory is that if they want electric cars to become the norm, they need to design them with standardized removable batteries and provide a service where you can pull into a station and they will exchange the batteries within about 5 minutes. Too many people are not willing to wait around while their car recharges. And, most people don't even have access to a charging station at home. I think that only about 4 percent of the cars on the road are electric. If they cannot reduce the charging time, the industry is doomed to failure.
