There has been way too much push for the battery powered electric car while we ignore a better solution. A compress air powered car. They already have units on the road in India. Using compressed air solves the "recharge" issue. Stations could have large compressed air tanks to refill the cars in minutes. Recharging at home would involve having a compressor powered off the grid. Uses electricity to power the cars but eliminates the batteries and recharge issue. Also, no lithum to import, no hazardous waste to deal with and much lighter cars since no batteries to lug around. Compressed air is a very powerful tool and we need more research into building compressed air engines.
