Long trips will just take longer with EV's, I think people will just have to adjust if we are to transition completely. The characteristics of Li batteries will always make it take five times longer to refuel regardless of the charging system and even the longest range Teslas under ideal conditions can barely match the range of an IC car. Also, until charging stations become as common as gas stations, EV drivers will have to plan on a greater reserve to avoid running out, which will make their practical range even less.

As long as you rarely make long trips, they are practical now although I see there have been some cases of charge station rage in the news.
