It will depend upon battery technology.. smaller more powerful, longer lasting and affordable batteries are needed. Also electric cars need to be able to travel over longer distance's and have a faster recharge..
I think we may not even see it happen.. other fuel sources will become available well before electric cars are mastered... but to answer your question we could be 20 years away from seeing a real useable electric car....

Probably never, unless some new kind of battery or super capacitor is invented to store far more electric energy than can be done now. In the early 1900s electric cars were extremely popular, but gasoline cars took over the market.

Sounds like a science fiction movie, "The Take-over of the Electric Cars". The day man ceased to exist, when a swarm of electric cars take over the world! Coming soon to a theater near you.

I just read an article regarding cars using alternative fuel and it looks like it may take a while, as long as 5 or more years.

Uh... the electric car is already dead! GM lost billions on it.
P.S. Where does the power for the electricity for the electric car come from? Answer: coal and petroleum. Now, you 'do the math'.

electric powered autos are already in races. i'm a great deal surprised...or no longer, that you've under no circumstances heard of it. regularly that is an persistence or project race, extremely than the lap-through-lap racing. I doubt you'll see ICE as against electric powered, exceptionally in NASCAR, yet I wager i ought to do it as an exhibition.
