Most EVs sold in world are ambinet temperature control or available as ambient temperature cooled.
Presumably, a factor is automaker's ownership of battery production.
Nissan LEAF ~ 90,000 sold, only available with ambient temperature control. ~50% partial ownership of battery production
Mitsubishi i ~ 30,000 units sold, basic model is ambient temperature control, QC model has refrigerated cooling for QC, cold temperature has heating. simple to modify for cabin cooling to battery, see http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php? ... 5&start=10
Mitsubishi/s has partial ownership of battery production.
Tesla model S ~25,000 units sold, all models have a strong refrigerated, liquid cooling. Chemistry is a layered cathode (NCA). Nil ownership of battery production, (Panasonic has minor ownership in Tesla)
Renault Kangoo ZE ~10,000 units sold, only available with ambient temperature control. ~42% ownership of Nissan which has a ~50% partial ownership of battery production. http://www.arro.org.au/_dbase_upl/ERG_K ... nov_13.pdf
Twizy is kinda like an electric quad bike, presumably with cooling for battery but not for vehicle occupant.
Renault ZOE is catching up to Kangoo ZE sales, ZOE uses LG cells and has refrigerated cooling for cells, No ownership of LG cell production by Renault.
other EVs sales todate are mostly compliance, and small volume.
so of the the world's top 4 EVs, 3 are ambient temp cooled. those 3 are Manganese spinel based.
PHEVs is another matter...
