My understanding is the Leaf pack draws cabin air through the pack with a fan.

EDIT: finding multiple references to the pack fan, but I'm not having much luck finding good info about whether it pulls cabin air or outside air. (If it's cabin air, it could use A/C or cabin heat as needed, at least when the car is in use or on the charger.)
