Everyone who states it's the batteries are correct. But they are improving the batteries every day, also there are car manufactures right now that will actually rent batteries as part of their sale. They are reducing the price of the car and you rent the battery. As far as charging stations, they will start popping up all over once people realize they can make a profit from them. As far as homes, as the price starts to drop, and people start to learn their car will be charge waiting for them in the morning they will be a rush to install them. The last argument against the batteries is the charging time. All major roadways will have charging stations installed by the states because they can make money from them (like the soda & candy machines). So, you stop charge for 20 minutes, while the gas car next to you can gas up in 5 minutes, but let's not forget the 10 minutes to pull off the road and then back on.

They are now testing a battery plane for short runs and supposedly DHL is discussing about purchasing a fleet. I don't think a company that size would be interested if they didn't think it would help their bottom line.
