I saw a Fisker Karma a few weeks ago and it's roof was a solar panel and whatever it could
generate went to running stuff inside the car which helped it's batteries. Looked sort of like a four door Ferrari California with adequate room inside for four.
I remember when the idea of electric cars was first being discussed and everyone was against it because they all thought they would have to look and be something like the smart car. After looking at the Fisker and Tesla and the prototypes from Porsche and BMW its quite clear there will be electric cars that can be sporty or luxurious.
After seeing how far they have come in design I'm sure that in the near future all the concerns in this thread will be covered in terms of usability. I don't know how much of trade off electric power is for gasoline in terms of economic and environmental impact.
