I have my doubts but to be honest we now have stretches of highways that can induce charge an electric car (still in test phase and with a 5years plan to deploy apparently) in Netherlands and UK. Speaking of UK, the government wants to expand the network of charging stations so there's 1 every 20 miles or so (don't know the time frame for this).
Battery improvements are a constant, recently seen with Tesla (going for huge improvements in autonomy), and the "i" platform was a huge investment that for sure is guiding the strategy of BMW (they didn't reach the break even point between costs of development/production with the sales and it wasn't the objective anyway).
So, in 10 years a lot will change. I assume that the hardest part would be convincing people to go electric, having cities/governments to back it up and resist the lobbying of the oil companies.
Wait and see.
