Obviously they will tax us based on our mileage.
As for batteries and technology, we are pretty close to where we need to be for this to be realistic for most people. Most people drive 400 miles in a day, and even then they stop to take breaks for food and to pee and what not. If your car can drive 400 miles in a single charge, and takes half an hour to charge up.... You can dive 400 miles, stop to pee, eat, clean the bugs off the windshield, and you are good to go for another 400 miles.
I think electric cars will be much more common in ten years, and gas powered cars will be hard to find in twenty years.
