While the world seems destined to migrate away from internal combustion engines over to electric vehicles, the big wildcard is the availability of charging stations. No doubt there will one day be as many EV charging stations as there are now gas stations, but that day remains in the distance.
For now, anybody who wants to buy an electric vehicle needs to carefully consider what they are going to use that vehicle for and how easy it will be to recharge it. For someone who commutes back and forth to work, it is probably not much of a worry. Once home, the owner can simply plug it in and be ready to go again in the morning.
For someone who is on the road a lot, driving long distances, or in an area where detours might be needed, there is a much greater danger of running low on electricity. Of course you can plug in just about anywhere but normal household current is going to take a very long time to charge.
