  1. I think the biggest problem with this video was that it started with electric car history (which was great, by the way). However, you didn't continue with the evolution of electric cars to current day as would have been usual for such content. As a result, many viewers felt that this was done to avoid mentioning Tesla. You even sensored the Mercedes logos in the beginning. You explain that the decision was yours and I believe it. Compared to your video about Mercedes-Benz Active Brake Assist and other Mercedes episodes, this failed to explain the science/tech instead of feeling like paid ad. The sponsored content is not bad itself as long as the video is and feels objective.

  2. Hydrogen is not going to fly because hydrogen is too hard to produce which causes overall effiency of hydrogen be lower than charging and discharging Li-on batteries. Hydrogen may be used for rural areas because pumping hydrogen is faster than charging batteries but it will not be the big picture.
