I don't think electric vehicles with long ranges like these will ever be mainstream. The batteries are heavy and expensive. And unlike many other technologies proliferation of these vehicles will only drive the cost up due to scarcity of key elements needed to make the batteries.

My personal opinion is the way of future green cars will be hydrogen. Used in combustion engines or fuel cells it's straightforward to produce, and zero emissions (other then water).
