I feel like the liquid fuel problem is much more manageable with a proper heirarchical transport model. Railways are easily electrifiable (century-plus proven technology). Rip out the Interstates and run networks of higher speed and local rail systems. Electrify existing freight corridors. Then you're just using liquid fuels for the relatively short last-mile journeys to or from a rail station. That's far less of a range anxiety problem, so even an old Leaf with 75km range will suffice for many. The problem isn't the technology, it's the political will to be able to say "No, you shouldn't/can't drive anymore" to hundreds of millions of people.
