Never said batteries were "simple". Electric motors are undeniably simpler than combustion engines.
Trying to agree with you here, but I guess the other thread has set you into combat mode  |
But it goes far beyond that
The weight of batteries exceeds that of fuel by a significant margin
There's the issue of parity wrt taxation of "fuel"
Lack of fueling stations, a billing model and power distribution/generation
There are other issues as well
