The problems with electric cars have always been the same: volumetric power density, battery longevity, battery cost, charge time.
Today most of these issues are largely resolved and close to being non-issues. The next generation battery technology is likely to place electric storage ahead of gasoline in terms of power per unit volume.
The next challenge to electric vehicles is safety. Before electrics can reach penetrations in the range of millions of units in major markets they'll have to prove they are safe in such concentrations.
