Physics. You can add power to create heat with no practical cost in space or weight. You can't create cold.
Let me repeat, You can't create cold. Full stop.
All you can do is move heat around. And moving heat around takes space and weight of new components that are cumbersome.
And yet, somehow my Chevy Volt figures this out.
The Volt trades having less EV range and more cost for not cooking the battery. It's a better engineering attitude, it just isn't free.
