Once everything in the electric car gets as efficient as possible and electric cars reach the point where they are mass manufactured at a scale greatly exceeding combustion engines, we end up at the point where it makes sense to consider roadways as power lines and an automotive "third rail". The car could operate largely on capacitive energy or batteries designed to charge as quickly as possible to ~80% capacity and avoid trickle charging entirely.
At the end of the day it's crazy to be accelerating and decelerating the mass of the batteries if you don't have to, and once you have a critical mass of electric vehicles on the road this just makes sense.
