Mining the materials needed to make current high-tech batteries is messy and then the end-of-life for non-reusable poisonous scrap years later are two realities.
Then the infrastructure... Even is it magically appeared all over the country, it would suddenly cause a massive drain on the electrical grid. We'd need nuclear powerplants built to fuel the recharging stations.
The other nasty bit with no solution so far is the cold weather zones. Batteries of all types don't like freezing cold.
