Electric cars would surely be a hit and of course, lots of people would be disappointed without the production of these EV's. I suppose there's nothing left to do but to wait. Unless your as rich as Bill Gates then you could start the production on EVs.

Manufacturers should start thinking about the time of charging to make these cars very competitive.

Every technology comes with certain flaws, so its important to make it reliable by working in that direction. I think this is the reason why the comapnies are taking time to deliver such reliable cars.

I think charging time and the length of a charge are some of the major stumbling blocks for electric vehicles. For driving around town, it's not too bad, but one of the benefits of a hybrid is that you can always get gasoline somewhere. With an electric car, you have to take more time planning trips based upon the battery charge.

Yes. people are always waiting to have these kinds of cars in their garage. However, the main feedback is the charging time. If they could make the charging time in shorter periods. Maybe more and more people will have these cars.

Many people are tired of waiting for the right electric car for them. There are currently many models and makes of electric car but people always want different types of features meshed in one so they have to wait for the perfect one to come.

Maybe in time. These manufacturers would invent or make the charging time shorter than what we have now...

There are many models and makes of electric cars right now that are available in the market. I think people who want to have electric cars should buy one instead of converting their conventional cars to electric. There should be lots of modifications to be made, and lots of money involved too.
