It would be a whole different matter if the recharging cycle would take only a couple of minutes, like 2 or so. Then, I think, we could cope even with 3-6 hours of battery life.
Isn't it funny (paradoxical) that even with all the technological progress going forward in huge leaps, there's still no convenient solution to storing energy?
