Me too.
Electric car batteries, driving range, charging times, accessibility of charging stations... that will all continue to improve in leaps and bounds. I think that within most of our lifetimes, electric cars will no longer be considered "odd" or "impractical"... I think electric cars will be quite common.
As far as the comment about electricity needing to be generated... true enough, electricity doesn't fall out of the sky by magic. But electricity can be generated by a wide variety of means... fossil fuels, hydro, solar, wind, nuclear.... while gasoline can only come from one source: oil. In the long run, producing electricity makes a lot more sense than producing gasoline.
