My phone cannot go for a whole day of heavy use without recharging, this is literally unthinkable 5 years ago. How can a phone be usable if you have to worry about charging it all the time?

Now, everyone is perfectly happy with carrying their chargers around. Maybe in a few years, people would get used to the idea of planning for charging their cars.

that's because new mobile phones with crappy battery lives offer a lot more functionality than old mobile phones with much greater battery life. if this was the case with the electric car, then maybe yes, but i don't really see any significant benefits.
