Electric cars are only going to work for a segment of the population at the moment. Over time that segment will grow but it is going to be a long time before they take over. Might never happen depending on what else comes along. I like having one electric vehicle since they are great for running short errands around town but life would be difficult if your only car is electric. All of your trips would have to be figured out in advance and there would be times where you just couldn't do things because you didn't have enough range left. Ten years from now it will most likely be easier to own electric but it isn't very convenient right now.
