They are more complex, and I suspect more expensive to repair.

oh boy -
1. it is LOT easier to reduce emission from a single stationary source (power plant) than from thousands of mobile sources (cars).
2. you can site the emissions source away from popn centers and airsheds prone to inversions (LA)
3. you can transition to cleaner energy sources over time (nuclear, nat. gas, and solar)
4. you can (finally) link the grid to mobile/transportation power users - and eventually use the latter (fuel cells) to feed back into the grid during periods of low power demand
5. TORQUE
6. Easy to do torque vectoring & 4WD
7. low Cg
it's a matter of time
