Nope.

But at least a bigger pack means lower draw/charge per cell, so less heat buildup, and more cells probably means a bigger total cooling surface. It alleviates the problem somewhat.
Plus direct current charging:

Yet, not all is new for the Nissan Leaf 2019, i.e. the change is not so much in the appearance. It is the inner life that counts so to speak and that has been confirmed in said battery pack with a usable capacity of 60 kilowatt hours. As a kind of useful “waste product”, a higher direct current charging capacity has been added as well. Thus Nissan doubles charging capacity to a new 100 kW with the Leaf E-Plus.

Supposedly, Nissan is trying to tackle the issue, at least a little. As with the electric transporter e-NV200, an additional fan is to give the battery a breath of fresh air during the DC charging process. It remains to be seen whether this will be sufficient to actually experience the 100 kW charging power specified in theory so far. The Japanese will continue to use the CHAdeMO fast-charging standard.
