I can do it in 25 minutes with the A123 batteries, but yes it takes some time. But like with my cars and helis and robots you can either swap batteries, or for instance charge where you park like a parking lot at work.
In order for electric cars to work on a large scale, you will need to get an infrastructure in place where you can do either option.
The batteries can be swapped out on a deposit base, where you only pay for the charging, and not the batteries themselves. Basically the same way I pay for my co2 and argon for welding. You dont pay for the bottle except for a deposit and they swap out the bottles when I need more gas. If I decide I don't want their gas anymore, I just return the bottle and get my deposit back.
Charging points will be a thing that needs to come from the companies that have the parking spaces and endorse electric cars, and if possible at home.
This is not something that will happen in 1 year or even 5 years, this will take time. In the mean time the progress on battery research is only improving, making safer and more high capacity fast charging batteries all the time.
And if during this time a better alternative comes along, I would endorse that too.
