Rapidgate: (not) fast-charging a Nissan Leaf
I stumbled upon this video about a drive with Nissan's e-NV-200 van:
where Bjorn shows what causes Rapidgate (excess battery heat) and how hard it can be to get it cooled down again, as it doesn't do active cooling unless keyed on (???) even when charging... and still with active cooling it can stay hot anyway.
The new Leaf is very much like this in that aspect.
Something you'd have to check out if you are thinking about buying one, IMO.
