Agreed. Electric cars need the high performance Li-Ion batteries, the 3 minutes charge = 3 hour play kind that you get in MP3 players. I mean, if they merely got it to the point where you could go to a fuel station, plug it in to charge and go in to grab a coke and by the time you get to the cashier your car is charged.

I mean, combine this with regenative braking and thin-film solar cells (so as not to add unnecessary weight and lower mileage), you could greatly improve over most current full-electric cars.
