Hello.

The other day I pondered keeping EV batteries warm with substantial insulation and with water jackets underneath that insulation.

When it is cold, the water/antifreeze would be heated by a heating element in the water/antifreeze reservoir, and circulated over the insulated batteries.

During hot weather, the same system could circulate the water with the heating element off through a little radiator to keep the batteries cool?

What do you think?
