It will take time, for sure. There are a lot of people who see a car with a 200-300 mile range and the first thing they think is, "Well, I can't drive that car when I take a vacation somewhere." Of course, most of these people have driven a long way just a few times in a handful of years maybe even in their lives so that isn't really a worry, but they will still need to see that this isn't a real barrier.
I think, within the next 20 years, we will have a lot of self-driving electric cars on the roads.
