I think one of the biggest selling points of an electric car is not needing to stop for gas.
How is stopping to recharge any different? Remember that a 40 mile charge is really a 20 mile range because you have to spend the other 20 just to get back home.
the vast majority of trips are within that limit.
i don't know the limit of current electric vehicles but they'd clearly need to be able to go 90-95%+ of the majority of trip distances. macphanatic excluded since he's on the road far more than joe average american.
