Batteries (currently) are way too heavy for commercial planes. They can be used for the smaller propeller planes, but not for jets.

I don't know what you were expecting to see to indicate activity. Flight tests are a pretty far along milestone, given the expense and time it takes to make a test plane. That nothing went wrong on the test flight is even more impressive, given that the engineering of using hydrogen in planes is still ongoing (as the article mentions).
