For Germany it's because of the different tribes. The Allemans next to France (Allemagne), the Saxons in the northeast (Saksa in Finnish), etc.

Reply to ELI5 why do electric vehicles have one big battery that's hard to replace once it's expired, rather than lots of smaller ones that could be swapped out based on need (to trade off range/power/weight)? by ginonofalg
The big battery packs are not only composed of smaller batteries but often also water cooled. Good luck hooking up hundreds of batteries to plumbing.
