EV's have been around since the dawn of ICE cars pretty much I wouldn't say it's recent tech.
It's recent because EV simply weren't practical with older batteries, the new tech is Lithium batteries, that have been improved significantly since the first Lithium based cars.
The interesting part IMO is that the fuel cells were massively researched despite obvious problems with no solution, when lithium batteries were already in existence.
And despite Lithium is an OLDER technology, it has made better progress since fuel cells were massively hyped.
