Fully electric cars will never work for 99.99999% of Americans simply because they take too long to recharge. The only viable energy source that can be replenished in under 15 minutes is gasoline. We simply won't buy a car that we have to wait hours for it to refuel.

A. It's two years away from production
B. They've managed to bring the recharge time down to 45 minutes. Won't be long until they further narrow it down in future electric cars. Not to mention that a 160 mile range is way more than people drive on average daily, so they can always recharge it overnight. Only time you'll have to worry is on a long trip somewhere. That also isn't a huge problem. If you drive 300 miles straight, chances are you're willing to take a 30 minute rest stop anyways.
