But did they finally liquid-cool their battery so it has decent longevity?

Nope.
https://www.electrive.com/2018/12/04...iquid-cooling/ 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: Quote:

It has air conditioned cooling; but not liquid cooling.

If it can air condition to cool, then I expect much better longevity out of the battery, and no more chargegate. |
The sad part is a couple water jacket fins through the middle of the battery running past ac would likely eliminate 90% of the issues but they won’t even do that

It's like crash fires in pinto's. Not enough problem to worry about profit.

Nissan has lost their mojo - or at least much of it. They have addressed the "charge-gate" with their 40kWh Leaf, with a software change.
They need to change *one simple thing* to make the Leaf possible for me (and other taller drivers) - the center console flares out - and the edge hits me just below my right knee. It is a deal-breaker - and it is an easy thing to fix. If they do that, then I'd be able to own one. Also, they raised the rear seat, which is good; as the original seat is way too low for most adults. But it now puts my head into the roof liner - so a steeper angle on the seat would be better. Nissan REALLY needs to come out with more electric vehicles - they have sat on their advantage of producing the first widely available, relatively affordable EV. They waited a few years too long to refresh the Leaf. If not for the bulging headlights, they would have sold many more. |
