my vacation house is 200 km away and have barely enough electricity to support itself, many other Swedes drive further away and have less electricity available.
I agree that for routine day-to-day driving, visiting friends running errands or even shorter trips, electrical is the way to go but it really depends on you situation.

At least in Norway that is already practical over most of the country with an electric car, especially a Tesla because there are so many chargers.
I have driven from south of Oslo to two hours north of Trondheim and back at least half a dozen times in my Tesla S 70D. without trouble.
It looks like Tesla in Sweden haven't invested in quite so many chargers yet but even there they are typically less than 150 km apart even in the north and of course there are more public chargers being built all the time.
I agree that most other brands of car have had rather shorter range but they are catching up rapidly.
I have only ever had to wait at the busiest chargers and they are all in high population density areas, not in the mountains. Even then I have never waited more than 20 minutes.
I have driven and charged my car at Tesla stations in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, and the UK and I think there are only two Tesla chargers that I have had to wait at: Lier South and Lier North, both just north east of Drammen on the E18 on the way to and from Oslo respectively.
The situation is not so rosy if you can't use a Tesla but this is only a problem for me when I visit the UK because of the very uneven distribution of Tesla chargers. However number of chargers, both Tesla and others, is growing rapidly almost everywhere in Europe so the problem is getting less acute.
