The better EVs have liquid cooling for the batteries.

They all have ban blown cooling


Youll have to explain that one. Mine are liquid cooled.

And no fan to blow on a radiator?

'liquid cooled' unless you have a constant supply of cold water means
air cooled in reality. The liquid is just a way to get the heat to the
fan blown radiator.

However am surprised. there is no great need to keep batteries at an
exact temperature. Somewhere between 10 and 40 C is good enough

Blowing air on fins is enough to do that
