As lots have already said as the technology improves over the coming years we'll massive improvements in range, charge times will drop significantly and the number of charge points will increase so there are no queues to plug-in for the 5-10mins that will be required. The cost of electricity will go down as more an more clean energy is produced and the size and weight of the batteries will reduce to enable better packing and improved handling and power to weight ratios.

The biggest issue at the moment is that the majority of manufacturers are all taking ICE designed vehicles and just swapping out the ICE for a stack of batteries and an electric motor. If anyone has had the opportunity to drive a small purposes built from the ground up EV such as a BMW i3 I think you'd have to be impressed by the way it goes as an overall package.

For the record I'm 100% ICE at present with a V12, V8 and V6 cars and a flat twin motorcycle and I've no plans to go EV at this time. However, I can see that our choice of EV and the real world practicality will be very different in 3-5 years and pretty much unrecognisable in 10.
