Far too short a timescale as we have nowhere near the infrastructure for charging. It'll take years for the authorities to even plan where they're going to put the charging points, redesign car parks, lay the cables etc., and years more to actually do the work. Given that charging points require more space than an existing car park space, car parks have to be planned to be larger to accommodate the machinery. How to charge vehicles parked on street overnight needs a lot more thought and planning to avoid vandalism and provide security that your car WILL be charged in the morning. There's still little work been done as to how the infrastructure and electricity used will be paid for, not to mention how the loss of taxes from petrol/diesel will be made up. I think 2013 is wildly optimistic - and highly likely to be pushed back - more like 2040. If a stupidly early adoption date was brought it, all that would happen is that new car sales would plummet and used cars would become more demanded, hence rising prices, probably second hand prices would be higher than new.
Considering the foul ups, delays, and now seemingly forgotten compulsory changover from something simple/easy like analogue radios into digital radios, there's no way electric cars will be compulsory 2 years from now. - More like 20.
