-still have not come up with a viable solution to refueling times. They have capabilities of recharging a battery in 30 mins?? awesome! where you going to stop for that besides your house? Have fun driving in big circles...
-regards to the cell phone analogy. Cell phone sizes have gotten smaller yes, but the battery sizes have hardly changed much at all. Giant batteries will make for giant toxic waste so environment issues are suspect long term. Where did you get the idea that electric cars are new? this is not new technology in the least, this has been around for 100 years or so..
-companies don't care about air pollution, never have never will so you using this as an argument as to why they will magically start caring and make these for such a reason is nonsense.
people who can afford these things fly.. they don't go on long road trips unless its in a giant RV maybe but how many batteries would it take to move one of those?

Great points
Add to that: Electric cars cause more pollution in the build process, mainly from making the batteries with the materials being shipped all over the place.
The electricity going to that battery is only green if it is green energy making that electricity. If that electricity is being produced coal or oil anyway, what is the point?
Hydrogen is the way forward, or bio-ethanol. If you can't see how bad electric cars are then you need a wake up call, the technology isn't there yet and others are soon to take over.
