I think that Nissan have taken up the idea of an Israeli guy who was a senior player in Accenture before he went freelance. Carlos Ghosn met with him at the Davos Forum with Shimon Peres and they did a deal in a few minutes. Hence Renault getting heavy into this recently as well.
You go on a journey and pass filling stations just as you do now. However at a filling station you swap over batteries by robot that takes no more time that filling up a car with fuel. Each battery pack can last for about 100 miles or maybe 250(?).
For the purposes of my daily life however a guaranteed range of 40 miles with all the electrics and heat working flat out would suit me for probably 90% of my working (if not driving) days.
