My biggest thing with Electric becoming the "norm", it needs to get the ranges up to where most gasoline engine vehicles are. Right now, if I want to visit my dad, it is a 9 hour drive (586 miles) which I can do stopping once for gas with that stop for gas, bathroom, snack resulting in maybe a 30 minute stop. With an All Electric car, that same trip (using the Bolt as an example) I have to stop 2 times to charge up and those charge ups are really going to add time, 9 hour drive, DC fast charging gives 90 miles in 30 minutes which means to top it off will take about 1 1/2 hours so that puts me at 9 hour drive, 2 stops of 90 minutes, so 12 hours. So now it takes me an extra 2 1/2 hours to make the same trip. And that range is going to be shortened if there are accidents on the way or other incidents to cause delays.

I have no problems with Electric cars, I just don't think they are the answer yet. The range needs to be improved, which will happen, just we aren't there yet.
