This is industry (and their lobbyists) resisting to improve their products because it affects their bottom line. Fact is, the US should have done this in the late 1970's and early 1980's after the oil crisis. We can't keep kicking the can down the road ... the US of A *needs* to get off oil and chart a new course to keep money out of the hands of terrorists and other oil-rich hostile foreign entities.

Man-up USA and get off fossil fuels. We can make the tech of tomorrow if we want to!

If you're so concerned about it, and if it's as easy as you say, you should start your own car company. If you can pull off an affordable, realistically useable car that doesn't rely on oil in the next 5 years you'll be the richest man on earth. Why wouldn't I buy your car if it costs the same (or less), has the same cargo space (or more), the same performance (or better), can refuel in a couple of minutes (or shorter), same range before refueling (or longer), and fuel cost the same (or cheaper) per mile driven? This should be easy for you. Go ahead and get started! I look forward to buying your car.
