Until electric can get fully charged in a few minutes and take you under full load for 500km or more in one charge, they will have limited application.
Neither of those is true in Norway, yet the market share of electric cars reached 22.5% in 2015. Of course, this was with heavy subsidies and other perks, but it suggests that price and lack of charging infrastructure are just as important as range anxiety and charging speed.
Interestingly, Norwegian friends tell me that one of the reasons why electric cars are selling so well now is that people are overcoming range anxiety by word of mouth: as more of your friends have an electric car and say that lack of range is not a problem, it becomes less of a worry for you.
Remember that most people don't drive anything like 100km in a normal day, let alone 500km, and in the case of two-car households, it is almost never the case that both cars need a range of anything like 500km. Also, if you can charge your car while you are at work/shopping/university/a business meeting, you can potentially more than double the daily range of your car.
