The real problem with electrics is the lack of charging infrastructure and the charge time required for current batteries. Once we standardize charging equipment and fully deploy it EVs will really take off.

yeah will really take off and cost alot of money to use and maintain, theres no repair infastructure for these vehicles and even the most expensive tesla feels like a prius.

The problem would more likely be electrical glitches than oil ICE engine problems like a blown head or a malfunctioning water pump or fuel pump. It will most likely be a computer malfunction of some sort that have to be re-programmed or replaced.We wont have to get our hands dirty. But it could be pricey indeed.
