Charging and range are not at all problems with electric cars, it is cost. You pay high early adopter's premium, but that the only way to get this technology polished and economics of scale started.

I know conservative troglodytes talking heads love to tell zingers about electric cars, but unlike conventional cars electricity is produced domestically. So every time you charge your EV more money get to stay home, instead of going to the desert to people that don't really like us.

As to advantages of electric cars - fantastic acceleration, no need for transmission or active engine cooling systems - electric motors are much easier to repair (about as complicated as getting your alternator rewound)... so aside from batteries you are looking at a drive train that is capable of 1mil+ miles.
