Considering how small the fuel tank is on a modern car, having batteries take up 3 times the space to give the same range would be fine, IMO. In lab testing, graphene-based batteries, have proven to be rechargeable pretty much as quickly as you can feed them electrons, so recharging could take mere seconds with them, especially if you used graphene-based conductors in the charge cord.
