Remember it was only a couple of years ago that they were cajoling people into buying diesel cars. I bought one and now I'm a pariah...

You keep drawing analogies with phones and the internet - if they don't start digging up roads and putting in charging points soon it'll be too late. If they can come up with a way to charge up cars wirelessly via the internet maybe they have a chance...
The key thing is that there is a strong financial incentive for companies to devise an easier charging solution so money will be invested into it. Mobile phones can be charged remotely so why not larger devices in the future?
