When we find a way to charge more quickly and have it go over 200 miles on a single charge is when electric takes over. It's a good idea but is too inconvenient for the average customer right now.

There won't be "customers" in 20 years. Transportation companies will operate swarm of small electrocar taxis around the city which you will call from mobile device. I've read a paper on subject, prognosed costs of a trip in such a taxi is so less than conventional car you gotta be a complete lunatic to own one. Not to mention you'll be taxed into hell since human-drived cars are a huge hazard and any sane government will just abolish them when they can.

I doubt they'll have enough employees for thay endeavor, and it might take off in large cities like NYC but the technologies won't be perfected enough for either having enough taxi drivers or self driving cars. 

 

Plus most conservatives and many liberals would hate not being able to have the freedom to drive.
