The Problem: We have gas stations, we don't have electric car recharging stations
The Fix: Make charging stations allow to keep cars moving long distances.
Summary: Just as gasoline-cars have a limited range, electric cars do too. The current problem is that there aren't very many \"electric stations\", where you can pull in, and quickly recharge your car - as you can with gas.
Building out \"electric stations\" that either quickly recharge, or quickly-swap batteries solves this problem, and makes electric cars usable for the vast majority of people.
There are two primary means of charging electric cars, the first is simply to plug into homes, offices, and parking garages. PHEVs and EVs connected to the electrical grid can be used as an efficiency and emergency power measure, providing power when the grid is down and also absorbing power at off peak times and being able to release it at on peak times, increasing the efficiency of the grid. This would require beginning to design homes, offices, and parking lots/garages with dedicated car charging ports. This electricity at work places and parking lots could be paid for with a monthly service or by KWh, like a parking meter. The other method of charging would involve next-generation PHEVs and EVs with removable batteries that are going to allow for swapping of batteries at service stations, much like propane tanks. These stations would act like current gas stations and would allow for an essentially unlimited range.
