Do electric cars have any future potential to be more than city vehicles due to limited range and long recharge times? Wouldn't we be better off investing in public transit for cities than encouraging people to drive in single passenger cars?

Current production electric cars typically have a range of about 50-150 miles depending on driving conditions and take hours to recharge. Gas powered cars typically have a range of 300-500 miles and take a few minutes to refuel. What current electric vehicles have a 300-400 mile range? How are we not better off encouraging and subsidizing buses and trains rather than luxury cars?
