First of all, it took an hour to refuel at a “fast-charging” station. Not many people have that kind of time to spare.

I think that as electric cars become more mainstream, people would be willing to make adjustments to their lifestyle to accommodate charging times. I think that over the next 10 years there could come a point where case reaches a threshold and charging time decreases enough where the scales tip in favor of electric. I'm not sure where it is, but there has to be some point on the continuum where people say "let the car charge for an hour while we eat at Denny's rather than paying $6-7/gallon.
