That's how battery chemistry works. Even this, if it is real, is a bunch of individual cells in a bank. There is no alternative; you can't have sufficient reactivity between dissimilar materials to generate the types of voltages required in a single cell. You need multiples of them in series to hit 200 volts, 400, 600, whatever is required by the vehicle's drive hardware.
