Not to mention" that LiIon cells were known by Ford and Edison. Their first examples are in the museum in Florida.
Why didn't they use them in the first cars? When they either over or undervolted, they tended to explode. We didn't have the electrical circuitry to handle lithiums.
Now we do, mostly. Bad "spray fire and death" style accidents still happen.
