The discussions about plug-in electric vehicles always seem to tip-toe around the real question, which is performance. Can an electric vehicles equal the performance of a current fossil-fuel vehicle? Only if you don't plan on selling it, like the Tesla, which A) isn't real at this point, and B) if it were, would sell for over US $100K. So- the answer = no.
As for another level of practicality, in a very different vehicle, the answer is, yeah, sorta, as instantiated by the Electrovaya Maya-300. Which is a "real" all-electric car, which can be manufactured now, and uses none of the other fanciful components that other hypothetical vehicles propose to use. No unobtainium, dilithium crystals or Disneyite in this thing.
The downside? Very few would voluntarily buy the thing or drive it, unless they were forced at gunpoint. It's a roller-skate, and even though it has a range of 120 miles, does so at a maximum speed of 25-35 mph.
