"Sure the economics are prohibitive at this point, and the range needs to be worked out, but I can't fathom not seeing the virtues. We need another fuel to power our cars."
So, the cars are too expensive, and they can't go far enough and require exponentially more time to "recharge". Those are not trivial matters. And FWIW, electricity is not a "fuel", per se, but rather a storage medium. Gasoline is a fuel, we pull it out of the ground. Electricity is produced from energy sources.
I'm a supporter of electric vehicles so long as they present themselves as a compelling option in the marketplace and compete economically on their own. Right now they are severely compromised in many aspects, so they're relegated to a small niche of the luxury market which is perversely supported by giant government subsidies, ie, taxing the many to subsidize luxury purchases by the few.
