I wonder if some of this has to do with demand. I know several people who say they won't buy an electric car because they need something with a bigger range. The problem is they are thinking of the 1-2 times a year they take a road trip and not the other 99.9% of the time when the range will never be a problem. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there just like this leading to a limited market for the cars.
If those attitudes change and the cars start to see an increase in demand more companies will start working on battery technology and we could see bigger, better, faster advances.
