The "refueling" time. When the "fuel" of an electric car, electrical charge stored in batteries, runs out, the car cannot be driven again for any useful distance until the batteries reach a sufficient charge level.
Beyond the twenty mile limit of a new car (they will only get that twenty while battery is still new) there is also the issue of increased pollution. Transmission lines are far from efficient, so there is also energy waste.
Electric cars are great for golfing and certainly have their place. The roads of the world is not one of them yet, with the technology we have available.

Most people worry about the charging time and the range of the vehicle. Typically a Electric car will get from 80-150 miles per charge on your own conversion and economic EV's like the Nissan Leaf this is not including sports models which can get up to 300 miles per charge, this takes care of about 90% of the population travel distance per day. Charging time on average takes 3-8 hours on conversion's and Economic Ev's this time is getting better on more expensive models like the Telsa Model S which will be able to charge in 45 minutes from a 240 volt outlet. The only negative is the slow production of the vehicles.
