Electricity means range of travel is dependent on battery reserves. These reserves are generally low range. Batteries may be recharged, but not instantaneously; one cannot just fill a tank and go again, but rather wait 12 hours to recharge a battery bank, as that's how long it takes.

Tesla supercharging stations charge with up to 145 kW of power distributed between two adjacent cars, with a maximum of 120 kW per car.[8][9] That is up to 16 times as fast as public charging stations; they take about 20 minutes to charge to 50%, 40 minutes to charge to 80%, and 75 minutes to 100%. The charging stations provide high-power direct-current (DC) charging power directly to the battery, bypassing the internal charging power supply.[10] The next version of Supercharging is expected to charge with more than 350 kW.[11]

I'm sure there will continue to be advancements that improve the numbers I talked about, but none of that changes any of the concepts I talked about. I should simply have left any time integer out of my post.

Most people can hardly be bothered to hold a gas nozzle for two minutes, let alone wait 75 minutes.

Any newer, fancier, more advanced battery is just going to be a more expensive disposable item.
 
Most of the charging stations are at restaurants and with I believe 250 mile + between charges sounds pretty good to me, but with hydrogen fuel cells I would think much more could be expected.
