I cannot see why folks are so shortsighted that they fail to see the possibility of a new infrastructure for the electric car economy.
The one thing that electricity can do that no liquid or gas fuel can is refuel the car while it is traveling. The second point is that a nationwide electrical infrastructure is already in place. Electricity can be produced and delivered almost anywhere. Virtually every building, home, and road has some type of electrical infrastructure in place.
So there's really no need for hydrogen, or zinc slurry, or fuel cells, or any other type of infrastructure that is analogous to the current gasoline infrastructure. All that needs to be done is to embed inductive charging stations right into the roads. The electric car drives over them and gets recharged. Electricity producers and charge maintainers are paid by the users of the charging stations.
There's not even a need to completely electrify the roads. Simply start with charging stations on the interstate road infrastructure every twenty miles or so. That would be enough to get the ball rolling. Then as demand increases, then fill in charging stations more densely.
The concept of the 10 minute fill up is vastly overrated.
