They’re also funding a liquid anhydrous ammonia powered car, as if hydrogen wasn’t a terrible enough idea, let’s power a car with an incredibly toxic chemical that has to be stored cryogenically or under pressure. What could go wrong?
Let’s power a car with a battery that burns so hot and so persistently, that piercing said battery caused firefighters not to bother with extinguishing the car at all.
Let’s power a car with a fuel refined from oil extracted at the cost to the environment. Burning it will also cause excessive emissions. Also it will be extremely volatile so the infrastructure to move the fuel and refuel the vehicle will need to be monitored at every point, and it requires fuel to be cooled down to very low temps when it’s hot outside.
Let’s power a car with natural gas. It’s an incredibly toxic chemical that needs to be stored under pressure. It also makes it so you can’t park in underground parking since it malfunctioning can lead to people suffocating, or an entire building exploding.
Inherently unstable vehicles that can crash on minor surface imperfections or naturally occurring phenomena (leaves, ice) causing injury or death. There is no comprehensive licencing regimes or safety inspections so any child can be on one of these deathtraps risking injury or death at any moment.

You can always make something sound bad.
Try and make bicycles sound bad.
Easy.
