This is the main thing holding me back from going electric. I live in a metropolitan area, I park on the street. There's no way for me to get electricity to my car... and there's not a chance in hell I'm fucking around at a charging station for 2 hours in the middle of a commute.
Gas stations also aren't going anywhere. The average age of a car in the US is 12 years old. That means that, even if today we switched to only selling 100% electric cars off the lots, we're looking at 12 years (!) before 50% (!) of the cars on the road are electric. Finally, the current trend of free-or-almost-free charging stations is going to go away very quickly once electric cars become more mainstream -- I wouldn't be surprised if a "charge" ended up costing about as much as a tank of gas. This kills one of the main arguments for going electric in the first place.
