Storage tech is going to need to change before electrics are a viable choice, imho.
Barring using nuclear batteries, we're at least 50 years out.
Nuclear batteries would be the way to go ... but they would only be possible in a sane, educated, white Christian society.
Nuke, better batteries that charge quicker and don't explode, or supercapacitors with a density thousands times higher than we currently have.
Don’t forget the environmental impacts of battery production and disposal. I’m not a green peace nutjob, but we should be good stewards. Li on batteries are not it.
You would need superconductors. Normal batteries can't take the heat from quick charging all the time. I would only slow charge a vehicle, or a phone.
That's not even considering the electric power grid's capacity. Even if a magic battery immediately was available that recharged in 5 minutes and allowed 500 mile range, it wouldn't work today.
