The big sticking point is as you already point out battery density, and of course charge speed.
Until you can fit 500 miles worth of batteries into the space a fuel tank takes up, and charge that battery in less than 5 minutes the uptake simply won't be there.

Its only simple if you ignore the need for a source of power (electricity)
Once you look at the entire equasion it becomes just as complicated if not more complicated
