The technology is there. The cost is just too high. To get @ 150 mile range you're looking at $15,000 for the lithium batteries. As battery prices drop you'll see a lot more conversions. The real key will be finding a way to quick charge them without smoking the batteries. Most folks don't like being held back by their cars limited range.
