The main problem is with speed of charge and ability to hold the charge.
An article on Imeche website discussed the new rapid charging algorithms (offsets internal resistance, temperature, charge state and battery age) being designed and the fact that after 40 rapid charges the cell capacity falls to 60% which is not really acceptable.
Batteries don’t like rapid charge (or rapid discharge for that matter). Personally I think we are stuck with hybrids unless hydrogen kicks. Hydrogen is ecologically the best solution.

Are you sure hydrogen is the ecological answer ? Watch the linked video below between 26 and 41 minutes (although it's all worth watching, his rants are great). Most hydrogen fuel is created from natural gas and the rest uses more electric power to create than you get from the hydrogen.
