To paraphrase Richard Hammond: "Forgetting something at home when I go to work would be a 2 day round-trip because it's so far no electric car has the range. I would have to spend one night recharging the car somewhere in the middle"
His problem has just been solved. Sure, it might take him 3.5 hours (random number) instead of just 3. But that's insanely better than having to stay the night to recharge your car.
But if you're commuting 3 hours a day total, you have bigger issues with your life, to be honest. Move closer to where you commute!
When all you do is pull out your cellphone, select a route and a car picks you up in 5 minutes, takes you to your destination, and leaves... you don't worry about range and electricity and recharge.
You just use it, and the system can intelligently maintain battery levels and recharging across the fleet, ensuring efficiency.
Heck, such a system could provide gasoline or hybrid cars for trips that required them.
This isn't a discussion of if. It's a discussion of when.
I had a 130 mile commute in the 90s in Arkansas that took me.. 130ish minutes. Now I have a 32 mile commute that takes around 2 hours and is 15 miles driving, BART for 35ish minutes, and walking for 20 minutes.
My commute here takes less time than my 30 mile (15 one way) commute in the Twin Cities.
Take a look into graphene-based supercapacitors. It _is_ possible to charge an electric car in a few minutes. It's just a matter of time. [and no, we're not talking EEStor. We're talking multiple research universities actively looking into the technology. Angstron Materials is one.]
