Most of the reasons I hear for why we don't yet have 100% electric cars center around the lack of an acceptable range for those cars.
Well similar reasoning used to be used to explain why electric hand tools like drills weren't that popular. But then they finally thought to develop quick change battery packs for those tools and all of a sudden battery powered tools became popular.
Well the same sort of reasoning should apply to electric cars. All you have to have is a chain of "battery stations" to do the charging and equip the electric cars with quick change battery packs to allow really fast (30 second?) battery changes. You drive as long and as fast as you want and you let the battery station take care of the charging. You could have maybe three sizes of battery A, B, and C and depending on how large your vehicle was.
