In the future I expect technology to have improved to make them at least
as good as petrol cars.

Not even possible. In spades with planes.

No one is talking about planes.

They just need to make the batteries cheaper and last longer

Soorree, fresh out of magic wands to wave.

Apparently others do since thats exactly whats happened over the last 10 years.

But doesn't get even close to the price of a tank of
petrol and can't be recharged anything like as quickly.

And it never will - you'll simply have to put up with waiting 30 mins to
"refill" instead of 3. Get used to it.

I can charge AA batteries in 10 minutes, the charger is made by Uniross and has a cooling fan. This could easily be integrated into cars.
