Bill Clinton got electric cars right

You know, tesla just posted a record quarter, they actually outsold many popular models from BMW, Audi, Lexus to have the most popular luxury car in the US.

The real problem with electric cars is recharging. It takes too damned long! It takes 5 minutes for me to fill up my gas car, but hours to do that with an electric. Imagine a lot of people heading to a popular destination, with gas cars, you can just line up and wait for the guys in front of you to fuel up, than fuel. But what about electrics? The charging infrastructure and speed just isn't there.
