Better Place
I've always found the idea that electric cars need a infrastructure similar to petrol cars redundant.
It takes a fair while to charge an electric battery for a car, and where do cars spend a long time nearly every night? Peoples driveways and garages.
The vast majority of car travel is in day to day activities, people making multiple day journeys in cars makes up a tiny proportion of car travel, and as such it would not be economical to have a entire infrastructure just for these journeys.
An electric car charging network? It's called the national grid.
