Recently, I was discussing my vision of electric cars on american roads with a few different people.  During the course of the conversations, I explained the limitations of range, battery life, charging and top speed.  What I ended up explaining was that pure EVs are going to require an acceptance of different driving habits from most drivers.  There will be exceptions, of course, but for most families there will be 2 major options:  Drive hybrids or have 2 cars.  Both of these options will work for most people.
