If we had focused on that tech from the beginning (i.e. the first time electric cars were around in the 19-teens) we would probably only have electric vehicles. The last solid mass produced electric vehicles could go 300+ on a single charge. That is more than sufficient for nearly every single person. The only time that would become a possible issue is in long distance trips or current shipments by road. Even then, you could plan your trip to accommodate a proper stop for eating or a sleeping at a hotel to let you recharge.

Unless something miraculous happens, these won't be mainstream for a long time.
