and don't even think about hydrogen. nothing has been invented yet that can hold those small molecules and does not need to be replaced every 2 or 3 years.

long-distances can be covered in one charge if you have a sufficiently large battery pack. for the vast majority who travel short distances only then an electric car w/ small/medium size batteries would be perfect

now for that once-a-year super long drive then yes you'll have to charge midway while eating lunch or something
