Perhaps four wheel-hub motors and a a great battery are just too simple for them. I tend to agree. The complexity of the fuel cells, storage systems, etc. could keep a researcher happy for a lifetime. Add to that having another liquid fuel to manage, tax, and control will also keep the oil companies in the black.
As for me, I'll take the simple EV with great battery and power it with my inexpensive solar cells, thank you very much.
Sorry so simple.
