This really isn't true. The "mainstream" media and other fools said it wasn't viable. I lived in a place where an electric golf cart was an option for primary means of transportation. The city had "cart" paths through out most of it. Electric cars certainly have been more than possible for several decades.
Of course with all things context matters. This was a designed/planned city that built itself from scratch in the mid to late 80s. So driving a few dozen miles a day was very possible, but no one was driving NY -> DC in a golf cart :)
