They are about twice as expensive, and as an apartment dweller I can't charge it at home.
You can't have charging stations at the same level you have gas stations today, because it takes half an hour to charge (at a minimum) but only a couple minutes to get a tank full of gas, which means you need at least 10 times the number of charging stations that you currently have gas pumps.
An electric car powered by nuclear power would be awesome -- effectively unlimited range, completely clean, but anything powered by less will just suck.
If we are really going to do something drastic for the environment, lets ban offices and enforce 100% remote in knowledge work. That should drastically cut down on CO2 due to transportation and free up time.
