Really, it is all a result of using a battery, which is electrochemical device with inevitable temperature dependence, limited cycles, cost and all other flaws.

EVs without battery is used widely without any problems and have a solid niche in worldwide transportation for a long time - electric locomotives/trains, trams, trolley buses, etc. So electric powertrain is not a source of problems. And honestly, I think it is much better than ICE powertrain, it is simplier, reliable and have better dynamic parameters.

But instead of development a good reliable and independent electric power source for electric cars, they just push obviously inappropriate batteries locking users to electric companies and limiting them by climate conditions.

Seems that promising fuel cells development is intentionally slowed down. First - a patents for protone membranes, that make this simple sheets of plastic overpriced to the level when all idea become void. Small 1kW DMFC costs like a helicopter. Second - every year some top brand promise fuel cells for notebooks/smartphones. For a 20 years. Without any result. Toshiba once manufactured a small commercial batch of direct methanol charger, Dynaro, with 5V 1A IIRC, but the manufacturing was quickly cut down without any explanation and reason, ignoring the obvious public ineterst and demand. So, we have a working technology, but it is obviously supressed. Interesting that direct alcohol fuel cells solve most problems of batteries - instant readiness, unlimited idle storage, convenient fuel storage, decent efficiency of 30-40%, and they produce enough heat when working to heat a car in cold climate. Unfortunately they have some wear (proton membranes become clogged with impurities of fuel), and while it is extremely easy to replace worn membranes, their cost is enormous.

IDK, is this a conspiracy of battery makers or something more evil and complex, but here we are. And it seems that there no any changes in the roadmap of EVs planned.
