Just last week there was a fire in my apartment complex: 47 cars burned in the underground garage, the building directly above has to be demolished because of the damage it took. 70 families lost their homes. Reason? Electric car exploded while charging. I think that after initial enthusiasm there will be a push back against electric cars due to safety concerns.

EDIT: Burning electric vehicles are much harder to put down than, say gas cars, because, for one they don't need external source of oxygen, and second, there's much more of fuel to burn: 1200 lbs of batteries in a Tesla vs 10 gallons (85 lbs) of gas in the tank of an average car. Electric cars will probably be banned from underground parkings, sooner or later.

And saying that gas cars are "destroying the planet" is just ridiculous - they are maybe 5% of total CO2 emissions. And electric cars are actually responsible for even more emissions - not from burning fuel, obviously, but just manufacturing it releases more carbon dioxide than an average gas-powered car will in its 25 years lifecycle.
